Dear Patrick,

A new module for the ADF Graphical User Interface, with the working
title "ADFspectra"
has this functionality. It is currently operational in our development
version and will become
available to those with an ADF-GUI license in the next ADF release.

In the mean time, you could take the excitation energies as the band
midpoints and draw a Gaussian-broadened
line shape over each peak. The surface of each peak should be
proportional to the oscillator strength and
corrected for degeneracy in cause of multi-dimensional irreducible
representations (or switch of symmetry).

I hope this helps.

Best regards,
Stan van Gisbergen
