    Hi,<br>
    <br>
    To give a different opinion, I would actually reccommend for using
    IDL for <i>plotting</i>. I do it all the time, i.e., to calculate
    and plot certain quantities.<br>
    Mind you, I'm not talking about visualising, where VisIt and YT are
    indeed better suited. I would also not suggest use the XFLASH
    routines, enethough they may be good for some things.<br>
    <br>
    Best wishes,<br>
    Seyit<br>

      Hi Ritam,

      <div class="">I’d strongly recommend against using IDL and instead
        using either VisIt (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
