Dear Italo,
You can use Multiwfn (http://multiwfn.codeplex.com) to do this. Below is a simple
example, we calculate and plot ellipicity of electron density along bond path of
C-F in C2H5F.
After extract Multiwfn package, first open settings.ini file and change
"iuserfunc" parameter to 30 (The 30th user-defined function
corresponds to electron density ellipicity, see Section 2.7 of the manual for
detail).
Then boot up Multiwfn and input below commands:
examples\c2h5f.wfn
2 // Topology analysis
2 // Search NCP from nuclear positions
3 // Search BCP from midpoint of atom pairs
8 // Generate bond path
0 // Enter GUI window to visualize result
In the GUI window, by using "Atom labels" and "Path labels"
widgets at right side, we find paths 9 and 10 collectively correspond to the
bond path of C-F. Clicking "RETURN" to close the window, and input
-5
7 // Calculate specific real space funtion along a path
9,10 // The index of the paths
100 // User-defined function, which corresponds to ellipicity of electron
density currently
The curve of electron density ellipicity along the C-F bond path immediately
shows on the screen, the dash line denotes the position of BCP. At the same
time, the raw data of the curve are shown on the command-line window and you may
copy them out.
For more information about the topology analysis module of Multiwfn you can
consult Section 3.14 of the manual and the examples in Section 4.2.
PS: By using main functions 3 and 4 of Multiwfn, the electron density ellipicity
can also be easily plotted in a line or in a plane.

Hi all,
I've been running some QTAIM calculations and I would like to calculate
ellipticity profiles along bond paths. Does anyone know a software which can
perform such calculations?
I usually make use of AIMAll package but the software seems unable to calculate
ellipticity profiles.
I appreciate any help.
With regards,
Italo
