[FLASH-USERS] Plotting

[Sean Couch]

Hi Ritam,

I’d strongly recommend against using IDL and instead using either VisIt (https://wci.llnl.gov/simulation/computer-codes/visit/ <https://wci.llnl.gov/simulation/computer-codes/visit/>) or yt (yt-project.org <http://yt-project.org/>) for visualizing FLASH data.

Cheers,
Sean
