[Wien] How to flip the spins in instgen_lapw

[Madhav Ghimire]

Dear Prof. Steefan,
   Now my structure is working fine. The absolute direction doesn't matter
to me but of course I am trying to view the picture of spins of the
selected atoms under various AFM configuration like neel, stripe and
zigzag. I mean if I can show the spin up as *↑ *and spin down as* **↓* in
my crystal structure, it will be easy to understand.
Thanks a lot for your useful comments
