vmax and ticks

[w-yuxuan]

Dear Dr. Tsirkin, Thank you for building the amazing bandup package!

When the vmax is less than 1, I noticed that the color bar doesn't show the upper range like attached. Is there a setting for it to show fraction like 0.4? I tried adding: --cb_label --round_cb 2 --disable_auto_round_vmin_and_vmax

Can I make the code display the greek letter gamma? I notice the issue only when I have discontinuities like U,K. I tried // Gamma too. Thank you so much!

Dear @w-yuxuan

First of all, BandUP was developed by @paulovcmedeiros , I just collaborated. Unfortunately, Paulo does not actively maintain the project anymore. Later, I developed a similar tool (but fully in python) banduppy : https://github.com/band-unfolding/banduppy/tree/master/banduppy Could you try that, and say if it works for you? I am able to provide a better support for banduppy.

About v-ticks in colorbar, looks like it is hard-coded to be integers:

https://github.com/band-unfolding/bandup/blob/bd3ff1f38d82787f62b27e8acbfff8a0706231e0/src/python_interface/bandupy/plot.py#L735-L737

So, you will need to modify line 735 to your taste, smth like

cb_yticks = np.linspace(image.norm.vmin, image.norm.vmax + 1, 5) 

Regarding Greek letters, there should not be a problem with matplotlib : https://matplotlib.org/stable/users/explain/text/mathtext.html Did you try to give it as "$\Gamma$"

Please, tell me if this works.

Note: banduppy also has a plotting routine, but much simpler (less options, but easier to understand and modify)

thank you so so much for pointing me to the specific line!! Unfortunately it didn't work but "!G " worked. The vmax ticks line worked very well and this is what I ended up to make it even better: cb_yticks = np.linspace(image.norm.vmin, image.norm.vmax, 5, endpoint=True). Thanks for your quick support again!!
