[Wien] how to choose the plane for plotting Electron Density without XCRYSDEN

Dear Bing,

Some years ago, when I was using WIEN97, the users were doing such 
calculations by selecting themselves the plane of interest.
You simply need to draw the structure on a paper (or using an external 
tool such as VESTA or DIAMOND...).
Then you have to define the place of the plane you want to plot.

To define a plane, you need an origin and two vectors.  Then you should 
choose an origin and two additional points to define the 2 vectors.
It is not difficult at all, but nowadays we usually use Xcrysden which 
is doing the job automatically and faster ...

All the best

Xavier
