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=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I’d strongly recommend against using IDL and instead
using either VisIt (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://wci.llnl.gov/simulation/computer-codes/visit/"
class="">https://wci.llnl.gov/simulation/computer-codes/visit/</a>)
or yt (<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://yt-project.org"
class="">yt-project.org</a>) for visualizing FLASH data.</div>
