Description

I wish avogadro could open vasp CHGCAR files, which are volumetric data files. I could work on this, do you have already a .cube format reader and renderer?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look for existing volumetric data readers in the codebase, particularly the .cube format reader, and understand how it is implemented and registered. Also research the VASP CHGCAR file format specification.
