Too many contour regions will quickly make the data into a big blur. The final way that the data sets were looked at was as a series of 3 dimensional surface plots. These were created by taking the data, which was 2 dimensional, and mapping each data points intensity to the z-axis. The result is a visually appealing plot with the ability to show information that two dimensional plots cannot show. By rotating the surface, the data can be looked at from different angles.
Some angles show certain information better than others.
Figure 7 and Figure 8 are different views of the electron density. Figure 9 and Figure 10 are both views of the electric potential surface plot, and they do an excellent job of showing the banding of the electric potential. After compiling various large sets of images, it is necessary to organize them and present them in a coherent fashion. For such a task, multimedia presentation software packages are ideal. All of the data sets were transferred to a Macintosh Quadra 950.
