While it's nice to have a POV backend, do you have any plans of using
the opengl capabilities in octave?
For instance for VASP, in order to plot the CHGCAR or PARCHG files one could
read these files (which are in the format of POSCAR + volumetric data)
and use the octave function sphere to render a sphere
where the atoms are and isosurface to render isosurfaces. This would be very useful
to many people.
A draw_sphere function could look simply something like this
function draw_sphere (r, x, y, z, n=20)
[X, Y, Z] = sphere(n)
surf(r*X + x, r*Y + y, r*Z + z)
endfunction
and one would read a vasp_volumetric file
X, Y, Z, V = read_vasp_chgcar("CHGCAR")
isosurface(X, Y, Z, V, 0.5)
and voilà, we have an electronic density plot.
