The problem with contour plots made with Gnuplot is that it doesn't
label the isolines. So far I found only commercial programs able to do
this under Unix (e.g. IDL, PV-WAVE, etc.).

This web site is broken. Searches cannot be made (for example the text/keyword
search asks for user authentication ????), and none of the links to

Hi folks,

I have been trying to convert a ci program (written in LS FORTRAN) from a
mac version to a windows version (a win32 application using Digital Visual
Fortran).  Compilation is OK, but when I try and build the executable, I
get the following error.  I do not know much about windows and am
relatively new to programming.  Is there anyone here who knows what these
errors mean.

Dear Emad,

G94 and G98 DFT differ in at least two points.
1) The default weighing scheme for the numerical integration is now Stratmann/Scuseria. It was different in G94 (the Becke scheme ?).
2) The SCF cycles are now started with a superposition of states instead of the pure guess. This _might_ lead to differences, but does not seem to be the case in your calcs.

Stefan

   Emad,

   There is a minor difference in energies, most likely due to the
change in default numerical integration, G94 used Becke while G98 uses
Strattman/Scuseria points and weights. The minor energy difference is
consistent with this.  Also the gradient summaries are identical which is
consistent with having the wavefunction the same.

   The obvious difference is in the predicted displacment.   G94 and
G98 use different sets of redundant internals and start from an empirical
valence hamiltonian.  The variations here are likely what is causing the
difference.  I suspect that if you used Opt=CalcFC you would have much
closer displacement predictions.

Well, the winner is gnuplot. Defenitely.

After a couple of hours and some example scripts from some of you (thanx)
I've been able to do exactly what I wanted. Neat!

Thanks to all of you out there. Below, the required summary.

Luigi

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
GNUPLOT   http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/gnuplot_info.html

Graphic front end extensions to gnuplot

xgfe      http://www.bl.physik.tu-muenchen.de/rechner/grafik/xgfe/xgfe.html)
kgnuplot  Under KDE (http://www.kde.org) kdenonbeta packages
kgplot    Under KDE, http://www.ph.utexas.edu/~lai/kgplot/kgplot.html

Nice tutorials, not only gnuplot but PlotMTV and Xmgr as well.

          http://nacphy.physics.orst.edu/DATAVIS/

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                      Other programs + some comments (not mine)

PlotMTV   http://aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu/plot-tools/plotmtv4.html).
          It's less powerful than gnuplot, but works pretty nice.               

contour3D ftp://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/hpux/hpux/Maths/Misc/contour3D-3.0
          Although in that address there are binaries only for HP-UX, 
          the source code should be compiled on any Unix platform
          running X-Windows.

INTERCHEM http://interchem.chem.strath.ac.uk/inter/interprobe.html              
          has the sort of facilities you require. In connection with
          displaying protein structures, it will show the distribution of 
          torsion angles, phi and psi as a scatter plot of Ramachandran
          type. The INTERCHEM package runs exclusively on SGI platforms, 
          but is supplied with full source code, and should therefore be 
          capable of being ported to other UNIX platforms.
          The academic price for the package is 500 GBpounds or 750 Euros. 

OCTAVE    http://www.che.wisc.edu/octave
          It is a free Matlab-clone, so it is a programming language that 
          is useful to do things in a "quick and dirty" way. It uses gnuplot 
          as the main plotting engine, but people have written all sorts of 
          drivers to other graphics formats, e.g. VRML. 

VU        http://www.cerca.umontreal.ca/vu/


IBM-DX     http://www.almaden.ibm.com/dx/
           DX runs on 7 major UNIX platforms and on Intel-based PCs (Windows NT 
           and Windows 95) and is designed to take full advantage of multi-processor  
           systems from IBM, SGI and Sun. A fully-functional trial version with a 
           free enabling key is available.

Hi,

Alhough I am associated with Schrodinger, Inc., let me address the
general issues that David Feller raised.

It has been said that "There are lies, damn lies, and statistics."
The series has been said to descend through "benchmarks and salesmen's
claims."  (Sorry, Bill G. :-) )

On the one hand, it is true that the best benchmark is the kind of
job you need to run most of the time.  However, even highly specific
benchmarks are hard to run in the current environment, because,
as Dave said:

On Tue, 13 Apr 1999 d3e102@emsl.pnl.gov wrote:
> ... not everyone is as happy as Schrodinger, Inc.
> to have their software compared with the competition.

I take this as a compliment :-), but I do agree with Dave that 
different codes have different strengths and weaknesses.  Codes which
might not do as well as we in some things will probably do better
in others (not necessarily speed;  maybe variety of methods or
something else).  Would it not help the entire industry if we were
all more candid about allowing our weak, as well as our strong points
to be known?

For one thing, it would help a vendor to have its weaknesses pointed
out;  that's what they need to address.  And each vendor can probably
point to things that they do much better than others -- i.e., to
weak points in other vendors' codes, which they in turn would do well
to address.

The net effect of greater openness would be better code from
everybody; and better science, and better computational chemistry.

Regarding general benchmarks, I think they should be made
available for us to argue and fight over.  Let each vendor propose
benchmarks that show off its code to best advantage.  Let everyone else
howl at the unfairness of the comparison made by the comptetition.
Let the users try their own problems with several codes and tell
us what they find, and let all the vendors howl and yell at them.
And let PNNL try to develop and report a fair general benchmark
so that users and vendors can all howl and yell at them. :-)

New processors are always accompanied by Specmarks, and whenever 
a new Specmark is announced everyone points out that most codes
will not exhibit the same relative performance on two platforms 
that the Specmark ratio indicates.  True, certainly;  but
nobody denies that the steady increase in Specmark values over
the years does indicate a steady increase in the speed of processors.  

Thus, general benchmarks sometimes justify general conclusions;
specific conclusions require specific benchmarks.  People make
purchasing decisions based on some criteria, all of them imperfect,
and there is no reason that benchmarks -- general as well as specific --
should not be among them.

	-P.

Lev Gorenstein is correct - for free software use gnuplot.  Use gnuplot to
Adobe Illustrator like everbody else - it works extremely well and you have
complete artistic control.  This can produce first quality plots for
publication if you are willing to spend the time to learn Illustrator.

Subject: screened (Yukawa type) Coulomb potential
Date: Sun, 18 Apr 1999 17:27:59 +0900
From: AKINAGA Yoshinobu <akinaga@qcl.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp>

Dear all,

 I'm formulating the SCF using screened Coulomb potential 
(Yukawa potential). In calculating matrix elements, I must 
evaluate the integral such as:

      int[0-1] t^{2m}*exp(-A*t^{2}-B*t^{-2}) dt

             (A,B are given constants)

in which only difference between usual Coulomb potential case 
is the factor exp(-B*t^{-2}) (and that the constant A may be complex, 
because I use gaussian and plane-wave as basis sets). 
This factor is due to using screened Coulomb potential 
(Yukawa potential) exp(-lambda * r)/r instead of 1/r 
(lambda is screening constant). It looks like to be calculated by 
N-point quadrature, but I don't know the abscissas and weight 
factors for weight function exp(A*t^{2}-B*t^{-2}) with interval 
[0,1]. Do I have to generate them myself, by the method in , 
for example, "Numerical Recipes in Fortran", or can I find 
them in some early works or references ?
Any references are wellcome. 

Thanks in advance, 

Yosinobu

Tim Pearson's PGPLOT library is a set of Fortran and C callable routines
that are widely used in the astronomy community, and which has contour
labeling capability.  There are a number of programs which implement CLI
and GUI interfaces to the library, as well as APIs for Octave, PERL,
Python, TCL, and Yorick.  For details, see

	http://astro.caltech.edu/~tjp/pgplot/

I compiled the library easily under HP-UX, and there are also Linux
binary distribution packages for e.g. Debian and Redhat. 

CLI == command line interface
GUI == graphical user interface
API == application program interface

Subject: searching for email

Hi 
I am searching for the email address of Jeff Hey, who did his undergrad and
PhD in chemistry at Monash University, Australia.  I noticed that a Jeff Hey
sent a message to this address in January (found this reference on the web)
and was wondering if it was the same Jeff.  If so, could he please contact
me on my email address below.

thankyou
Kate
