mesa-users] matlab script for 3D plots of mesa/star results

[Bill Paxton]

Hi Jon,

Very cool!  And there are enough matlab users, that it will be worth  
having even if it doesn't work with Octave.

Perhaps we need to pause and think about how to set up a general way  
for mesa users to contribute to a collection of such tools that could  
be made available for download through the mesa website.  Do you have  
any ideas about how that might be setup?

I've Cc'd this to mesa-users in case anyone else out there has ideas  
on this subject.

Cheers,
Bill
