Dear Prof. Blaha
Thank you very much for your valuable comments.
I used the new "create_rho.f" file and recompiled the WIEN2k code. Then, at
first, I tested our calculations for SnSe that its ELF results was
published before using VASP code by Jiawang and Olivier, see "
https://www.mediafire.com/file/9wyttbkx4jt2vuy/SnSe-paper.pdf/file". The
bottom panels of Fig.6 in this paper show the ELF of the Pnma structure of
SnSe. I calculated the ELF for this structure of SnSe using RKmax=7 and
Gmax=12. My ELF graph is uploaded in the "
https://www.mediafire.com/file/3fl04kjdbgxhx3n/mygraph.jpg/file" link. As
can be seen, the behaviour of Sn and Se atoms in my graph and the bottom
panels of Fig.6 of Jiawang and Olivier's paper look similar. But, there are
still differences between my ELF results and the graph of  Jiawang and
Olivier"s paper. Would you, please, help me to know the source of these
differences?
Sincerely yours
Reyhaneh Ebrahimi
