--xsffile
Load structure from XCrySDen's-Structure-File (XSF) formatted file.
--animxsffile--axsffile
Load structures from Animated-XCrySDen's-Structure-File (AXSF) formatted file.
--bxsffile
Load bands from BXSF (Band-XSF) file and visualize Fermi Surface.
--xmolfile--xyzfile
Load structure from XYZ formatted file.
--pdbfile
Load structure from PDB formatted file.
--gzmatfile
Load structure from Gaussian Z-matrix (requires Open-Babel program).
--gaussian_outfile--gxx_outfile--g98_outfile
Load structure from Gaussian output file. Only single point calculation and optimization run is
supported so far. For the optimization run it is possible to render all the structures that were
produced during the run.
--cubefile--gXX_cubefile--g98_cubefile
Load structure from Gaussian cube file. The cube file should be produced with the Cube=Cards option.
Only scalar cube files are supported, that is, Cube=(Cards,Density) or Cube=(Cards,Orbitals) or
Cube=(Cards,Potential). Refer to GAUSSIAN manual for the meaning of this keywords.
--orca_outfile
Load structure(s) from Orca output file. Only Geometry optimization outputs were tested so far.
--crystal_inpfile
Load structure from CRYSTAL (http://http://www.crystal.unito.it/) input file.
--crystal_f9 file
Load structure from CRYSTAL (http://http://www.crystal.unito.it/) fortran unit 9.
--wien_structfilehead|file|directory
Load structure from WIEN2k (http://www.wien2k.at/) struct-file, where:
filehead = name of struct file without .struct extension,
file = filename,
directory = name of case directory.
--wien_kpathdirectory|struct-file
Read struct file and render first Brillouin zone with special k-points. K-path can be selected
interactively by mouse-clicking the special k-points. User must specify EMIN and EMAX energies and
total number of k-points along the path. This number is merely an estimation of total number of k-
points, since XCrySDen tries to get very uniform sampling of k-points along the path (don't specify
WIEN2k maximum allowed number of k-points, since XCrySDen maight generate few points more).
--wien_renderdensitydirectory
Read struct, output, and rho files and renders crystalline structure and precomputed charge density.
--wien_densitydirecory
Either 2D or 3D region for charge density calculation is interactively chosen by mouse-clicking.
XCrySDen generates in5 file(s), calculates and renders charge density either as isolines/colorplanes
(2D) or isosurfaces (3D).
--wien_fermisurfacedirectory
Pop-up a task window for Fermi surface creation. After several steps the Fermi surface is
(hopefully) drawn as 3D isosurface.
--fhi_inpinifile
Load structure from FHI98MD inp.ini formatted file.
--fhi_coordfile
Load structure from FHI98MD coord.out formatted file.
--pwi--pw_inpfile
Load structure from pw.xinput file. pw.x is a pseudopotential planewave program of the Quantum-
ESPRESSO distribution (http://www.quantum-espresso.org/).
--pwo--pw_outfile
Load structure from pw.xoutput file. pw.x is a pseudopotential planewave program of the Quantum-
ESPRESSO distribution (http://www.quantum-espresso.org/).
-sscript--scriptscript
Load script from file containing Tcl script.
--osscript--oldscriptscript
Load old-formatted script (prior to xcrysden-1.6) from file.
--printfilename
Print the displayed structure to a file and exit. This is useful within the shell scripts to achieve
"automatic" printing.
Example: xcrysden --xsf file.xsf --script state.xcrysden --print file.png
In this example "--xsf file.xsf" loads the structure from XSF file, "--script state.xcrysden" setups
a desired display (such a script is typically created via File-->Save Current State menu option) and
"--print file.png" prints the displayed structure to a file and exits xcrysden.
