Build new abipy.electrons.ebands.ElectronBands object by interpolating the KS Hamiltonian with Wannier functions. Supports k-path via (vertices_names, line_density), IBZ mesh defined by ngkpt and shiftk or input list of kpoints.

Each point represents a vertex of the k-path. line_density defines the density of the sampling. If None, the k-path is automatically generated according to the point group of the system.

• line_density – Number of points in the smallest segment of the k-path. Used with vertices_names.
