Compare bands

This module is useful to compare different bands from different materials on the same band plot. The bands are plotted for the same \(k\)-path in order to have a meaningful comparison but they do not need to have the same number of \(k\)-points in each interval. The bandscompare() function contains all the parameters that are used in the bandsplot() along with an added feature of displaying a legend to help differentiate between the two different band structures. Different marker styles can be used as well.

Usage:

pyprocar.bandscompare('PROCAR1','PROCAR2',outcar='OUTCAR1',outcar2='OUTCAR2',cmap='jet',mode='parametric',marker='*',marker2='-.',elimit=[-5,5],kpointsfile='KPOINTS',legend='PRO1',legend2='PRO2')

A similar approch could be used for other modes of band plots.
