Hello everyone,

I have done TDDFPT calculation and now I want to plot the results. I don't know how to plot them so that I can obtain the UV-vis spectrum. Can you give me a hint how to plot these results? 

Thanks in advance.

The output results are as follows:

 R-TDDFPT states of multiplicity 1

          number    energy (eV)       x         y         z       strength (a.u.)

Hi Shakiba,
     You may be able to intercept the two columns of energy and oscillator strength data, and then use a script to expand the data to plot spectrum.

Dear Shakiba,

The excitation energies are the spectrum already, but you have only calculated a few. 
Laser spectroscopy: basic concepts and instrumentation by Demtroder page 62-66 gives an explanation of how the spectrum is broadened.  You can use the dipole moment to calculate radiative rate which leads to the natural uncertainty in the absorption energy.
There are also people that use standard 0.2 eV widening like in this paper: Optical gaps in pristine and heavily doped silicon nanocrystals: DFT versus quantum Monte Carlo benchmarks.
