[FLASH-USERS] Plotting

[Seyit Hocuk]

Hi,

To give a different opinion, I would actually reccommend for using IDL 
for /plotting/. I do it all the time, i.e., to calculate and plot 
certain quantities.
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.

Best wishes,
Seyit
