[ase-users] How to set zero energy at Initial configuration

[Abid Channa]

Dear Ask Hjorth,
Thanks for reply. I got your answer. Let discuss in detail, I am working on surface which is definitely PES (Potential energy surface) and I am starting NEB calculation on surface ( I have two relaxed/optimized configurations , every one knows before NEB we have to optimize initial and final positions) , I am generating 10 images by performing NEB calculation in order to calculate minimum energy path (MEP) between these two positions. I am starting from minimum position (means I am at minimum at image one, scientifically other images/sites energies should be bit higher in energy until we reach near steps or kinks then energy should be lower). 
But I am getting image2 or image3 energies lower than my starting point . Scientifically it does n't make sense if we are starting from from minimum. I know there is some thing wrong here. sorry for detailed query , may be some one from mailing list exactly catch my query ,,,,, 
Best,

Not sure I understand.  You cannot 'set' the energy or other outputs.
Consider subtracting it manually when generating the plot.
