Hi all,

When I specify LORBIT and get the orbital decomposed DOS, what's the coordinate frame for the projections? Is it the universal xyz (i.e. the coordinates where I give the POSCAR), or is it something more elaborate? (i.e. do I need to rotate my supercells to align the z-axis with some bond to get physically reasonable projections or not?)

Thanks for your help.

the coodinate frame is the global frame of the lattice, there is nothing like rotation of local coordinate systems done in VASP.
