✨ NAME ✨

phonopy-pdosplot — bestie this is literally the manpage for phonopy-pdosplot 2.48.0 💖

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so. You know how you have phonon DOS results and you just want a cute little plot of them without vibing with matplotlib by hand? That's the whole girl. This is the Phonopy pdosplot command-line-tool, and it is here to serve. 🫶

Here's how you call her:

usage: phonopy-pdosplot [-h] [--factor FACTOR] [-l]

[--legend_labels LEGEND_LABELS] [--xlabel XLABEL]
       [--ylabel YLABEL] [-i PDOS_INDICES] [-o OUTPUT_FILENAME] [-t
       TITLE] [--ymax YMAX] [--ymin YMIN] [--fmax F_MAX] [--fmin F_MIN]
       [filename ...]

🌈 positional arguments:

• filename — the filename of the phonon DOS result, and the default she expects is partial_dos.dat 📄

💅 options:

• -h, --help — shows this help message and then peaces out 🚪✨
• --factor FACTOR — this factor gets multiplied with the DOS. Math but make it fashion 🔢
• -l, --legend — show the legend, bestie. Let the people know what they're looking at 🏷️
• --legend_labels LEGEND_LABELS — sets the legend labels for you 🎀
• --xlabel XLABEL — sets the x label 📏
• --ylabel YLABEL — sets the y label 📐
• -i, --indices PDOS_INDICES — indices, and the vibe here is like 1 2, 3 4 5 6... 🔢
• -o, --output OUTPUT_FILENAME — the output filename 🗂️
• -t, --title TITLE — title of the plot, main character energy for your graph 👑
• --ymax YMAX — maximum value of the y axis ⬆️
• --ymin YMIN — minimum value of the y axis ⬇️
• --fmax F_MAX — maximum frequency plotted 🌊
• --fmin F_MIN — minimum frequency plotted 🌊

no cap: every flag above is doing exactly what it says, so plot responsibly, bestie 💜
