Below I've posted an example input for using the visualization feature of the RT-TDDFT code. A dplot input block is needed, but only a minimal setup is needed since the RT-TDDFT code will take care of naming the input and output files for dplot, so you just need to specify the bounds in each direction along with the number of points, and the keyword gaussian produces cube files. The other important point to notice is that there are some quirks (i.e. bugs) with the RT-TDDFT code when it comes to getting properties at the end of the trajectory. In the case of visualization, you need to specify a propagation time (at least) 2 time-steps longer than you actually want cube files for, and you need to specify tend to be (at least) 1 time-step longer. In the example below, I wanted cube files from time 0 to time 100 so I needed to specify tmax as 100.4 (0.2 time-step) and tend as 100.2. Also note that the code will most likely crash at the end rather than ending normally. While somewhat disconcerting, this isn't actually a problem because the RT-TDDFT propagation was finished as well as all of the cube file generations and the code is just crashing because of another bug related to cleaning up the integrals.
