The LMPLOT program reads the output from the LMTRANS and LMFIT programs and plots cuts through the dipole and polarisability surfaces.

To run the program simply type

lmplot input N
where input is the name of the file containing the data to be plotted and N is the number of the mode along which the cut is to be made. If the arguments are not given, the user is prompted for the file and mode no.

The input file can either be the .lmi file from a fit, or the .dat database created by LMTRANS. In the former case

lmplot input.lmi N
the ab initio points along the cut together with curves from the fit are plotted. In the latter case
lmplot input.dat N
only the ab initio points along the cut are plotted. If no type is given, the program assumes it is looking for a .lmi file.
