<strong>ASE</strong> <strong>Manual</strong>, <strong>Release</strong> 3.6.1.2828<br />

To change the color scheme of graphs it is necessary to change the default behaviour of Matplotlib in a similar<br />

way by using a file ~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc.<br />

patch.edgecolor : white<br />

text.color : white<br />

axes.facecolor : black<br />

axes.edgecolor : white<br />

axes.labelcolor : white<br />

axes.color_cycle : b, g, r, c, m, y, w<br />

xtick.color : white<br />

ytick.color : white<br />

grid.color : white<br />

figure.facecolor : 0.1<br />

figure.edgecolor : black<br />

Finally, the color scheme of the windows themselves (i.e. menus, buttons and text etc.) can be changed by<br />

choosing a different desktop theme. In Ubuntu it is possible to get white on a dark background by selecting the<br />

theme HighContrastInverse under Appearances in the system settings dialog.<br />

7.7.2 Edit<br />

Add atoms<br />

Allows to add single atoms or a group of atoms to an existing atoms object. If the description is an atom or a<br />

known molecule from the g1, g2, or g3 set (e.g. CH4), then the structure from the data molecule is used. In<br />

addition, a molecule can also be imported from file via the load molecule button.<br />

The specified position can either be absolute, or determined automatically via<br />

auto+<br />

where auto is the centre of mass of the currently selected atoms, and is the distance toward the viewing<br />

plane.<br />

The molecule-to-be is rotated into the current viewing plane before addition into the system. Two options exist for<br />

chosing the origin within the new atoms, it can be either the centre of mass or the origin of the loaded geometry.<br />

Modify<br />

Menu to allow modification of the atomic symbol, an attached tag, or its magnetic moment.<br />

Copy/Paste<br />

Allows to copy parts of an existing system to a clipboard, and pastes via the same infrastructure as the Add<br />

atoms functionality. Note that the on-screen orientation of the pasted atoms will be the same as at the time of<br />

copying. Note also that, by default, the origin of the pasted system is taken to be the atom furthest away from the<br />

viewing point.<br />

7.7.3 View<br />

Repeat<br />

Menu to allow repition of periodic unit cells. Use the ‘Set unit cell’ button to set the overall unit cell to the current<br />

one.<br />
