You need to transform your data into the XSF data format, and then load the converted XSF file. Here you can find a template for a simple unknown2xsf converting program written in Fortran 77. And here you can read how to specify the scalar-field in the XSF format. Jens Kunstmann has written an XSF-converting tool xsfConvert. Currently it can convert the data from the TB-LMTO-ASA and VASP programs to the XSF format.
