<p class="MsoNormal">I second both of those options – particularly yt, if your needs lean more toward analysis. If you’re heavily invested in IDL you may also wish to consider the GNU Data Language (GDL;

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">The HDF5 outputs generated by FLASH should be generically accessible. For open source alternatives to IDL, I mostly use the python package yt^1 although I previously used Visit^b, which is perhaps nicer if you prefer
a GUI experience. Probably there are a lot more options.<br>
