Create the publication quality Brillouin zone graph with SciDraw.

[hongyi-zhao]

The Bilbao Crystallographic Server provides the beautiful publication quality Brillouin zone graph here and the corresponding PostScript file.

But I want to know if I can create the publication quality Brillouin zone graph with SciDraw from scratch, similar to the one represented on Bilbao Crystallographic Server.

Regards,
HZ

Hi HZ,

The Brillouin zone graph you shared looks like it's a 3D construction. While it would certainly possible to build something like that in SciDraw, the main focus of SciDraw is 2D plots and level diagrams. You could likely make a 3D graphic with Mathematica's 3DGraphics[] command, but rendering a 3D image into a postscript file doesn't currently have a straightforward solution.
