[FLASH-USERS] error in xflash3.0

[John ZuHone]

Hi Jie,

I’ll second what Suoqing said about yt, but as far as your specific issue, it looks like the real issue is that you do not have an X server running that xflash can connect to. 

It also appears you are running on Windows—I can’t vouch for whether or not the FLASH IDL routines will work correctly on Windows. A good X server for Windows is Xming:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/ <http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/>

yt is a far better approach to visualizing FLASH data than fidlr, which is very outdated. If you want a good introduction to plotting with the yt project, I’d check out this page:

http://yt-project.org/doc/visualizing/plots.html <http://yt-project.org/doc/visualizing/plots.html>

Please do not hesitate to ask us for more help on these matters. 

Best,

John
