Dear Synge, 

thank you for your hints. It works nice. 
I think, it would be useful to update the tutorial on that subject, to make it more clear, 
that parameter file is not the lattice description one. 
I knew it was the two-dimensional model. I put it on purpose, just as an example.

Can someone experienced in QMC-loop simulations comment on my bigger problem, please.

Dear Oleh,

It seems that your lattice ?p_lat? is not defined in THREE dimensions, but in TWO dimensions.
Are you really simulating three-dimensional model?

Best,
Synge

Dear Oleh,

As for ?printgraph? tool, you have to specify the name of parameter file (not lattice file).
Please prepare a parameter file (say, ?parms?) that includes, e.g.

  LATTICE_LIBRARY = "lattice.xml"
  LATTICE = "p_lat"
  L = 4
  M = 4

and execute printgraph tool with the following command line option:

  printgraph parms

Best,
Synge
