    intro {
        @b {Purpose of pp.x:} data analysis and plotting.
        
        The code performs two steps:
	
        (1) reads the output produced by @b pw.x, extracts and calculates
	    the desired quantity/quantities (rho, V, ...)
	
        (2) writes the desired quantity to file in a suitable format for
            various types of plotting and various plotting programs

        The input data of this program is read from standard input
        or from file and has the following format:

        NAMELIST @b &INPUTPP
           containing the variables for step (1), followed by

        NAMELIST @b &PLOT
           containing the variables for step (2)

        The two steps can be performed independently. In order to perform
        only step (2), leave namelist @b &INPUTPP blank. In order to perform
        only step (1), do not specify namelist @b &PLOT

        Intermediate results from step 1 can be saved to disk (see
        variable @ref filplot in @b &INPUTPP) and later read in step 2.
        Since the file with intermediate results is formatted, it
        can be safely transferred to a different machine. This 
        also allows plotting of a linear combination (for instance,
        charge differences) by saving two intermediate files and
        combining them (see variables @ref weight and @ref filepp in @b &PLOT)

        All output quantities are in ATOMIC (RYDBERG) UNITS unless
        otherwise explicitly specified.
        All charge densities integrate to the NUMBER of electrons
        not to the total charge.
        All potentials have the dimension of an energy (e*V, not V).
