[mesa-users] No plotting on test runs in release 5819?

[Bill Paxton]

Hi,

Let's try a test case where I get plot output on my machine.

cd star/test_suite/40M_z1m4_to_cc
edit inlist_40M_z1m4_to_cc so that pgstar_flag is true.
take a look at the end of the inlist in the &pgstar section while you are at it.
then
./mk and ./rn

Hopefully you'll get a plot window something like this:



Most of the test_suite inlists have an empty &pgstar section, so you won't see anything even if pgstar_flag is true.
Perhaps that was happening?

-Bill
