Charge density

To get the charge density, we can reuse the nscf calculation, which was done in the last page. We need to do pp.x calculation, or the post processing run, using the lines shown in the left. You can use the input (plt file) as shown below. You can obtain the figure as shown below.

Note that, when taking iflag=3 and output_format=5, we can get the output data for xcrysden.
