Suggestion for adding several DOS on the side of a phonon dispersion using sumo-phonon-bandplot

[gabkrenzer]

Hi,

I want to put several superimposed DOS on a phonon dispersion using sumo-phonon-bandplot, but it cannot do it. I have tried several things like repeating --dos, or putting everything in a big .dat file but it just takes only one into account everytime. I would like to plot a few projected partial DOS and a total DOS alongside my phonon dispersion essentially. What I noticed, however, and would be worth noting when you implement it, is that, for partial projected DOS, phonopy writes a .dat file that contains the data for all species and not only the one you want. It does only plot the one you wanted but they are all in the .dat is essentially what I mean.

Hi Gabriel,

orbital-projected phonon DOS is not currently supported in Sumo. It could be a nice feature if there is a way to avoid things getting too crowded! Indexing elements by number in Phonopy can be a bit cumbersome so I expect users would enjoy this.
