Multiwfn gamma support

Hi, I'm unable to get magnitude of gamma. I have used polar=gamma keyword in the input file. for some files I get values but for others ****** are displayed instead of value.

Re: Multiwfn gamma support

Thanks sir, it works now. One more question sir, which value is more important to discuss magnitude of beta/gamma or beta || and gamma ||?

Re: Multiwfn gamma support

Commonly you only need to focus on the total magnitude.
If you want to compare calculated result with experimental data, then beta || is useful, since it can be determined experimentally.
