y-axis values in sumo-dos plot

[mmmkhan]

Is there away to add y-axis values in sumo DOS plot? I understand it's arb units, but I still want to add them.

Thanks,

Hi @mmmkhan ,

this option is not currently exposed to the user. However if you are willing to tweak the code, all you need to do is "comment out" this line by adding a # to the start without changing the indentation level:

https://github.com/SMTG-UCL/sumo/blob/8f4f76e4f3fb38b5569f023a6ad087288e9507f7/sumo/plotting/dos_plotter.py#L392

Out of interest, what y scale do you expect to find on a DOS? Do you expect the DOS to be normalised to 1, the number of atoms per unit cell, the number of calculated bands, or something else?

Dear @ajjackson ,

I also want to set the DOS values since I want to compare the DOS and peak of two different systems. Therefore, the absolute results of DOS are much easier for comparison.

I have commented out the line mentioned above, however, the figure still does not show the values on the y-axis.
Is there anything else I need to do except comment out that line?

Best Regards,
Meng
