It is better to use dat2wrl_lapw, dat2gnu_lapw and dat2agr_lapw to draw more advanced 2d and 3D Figs.. For example, 3D representation of Linear Compressibiliy and Poissons Ratio by

$ dat2wrl_lapw com
$ dat2wrl_lapw poi

outpot files: Poissons.wrl and Compressibiliy.wrl, And using View3dscene , we will see it.
