Introduction

ADFview is a small utility program, which provides some basic visualization tools in 3D space. It will enable ADF and BAND users to visualize their results: SCF densities, orbitals, electrostatic potentials, and any other property that is available as a scalar value over a grid.

The property fields may be available on a 'TAPE41' file, with .t41 extension, or on a file formated as a Gaussian cube file (with .cub or .cube extension). Alternatively, they can be computed from a 'TAPE21' file, with .t21 extension, as required by ADFview. For BAND calculations the property fields can be computed from a 'RUNKF' file, with .runkf extension.

Many preferences (background color, molecule resolution, etc) are shared with ADFinput and BANDinput. You can use ADFinput or BANDinput to change these preferences, and once saved ADFview will also use these.
