[mesa-users] Question about saving and using png/ps plots

[Anne Thoul]

Hi,

You can get pgstar output in files setting the file_flags to true in the pgstar input file.
For example, if you want to keep files of the TRho_Profile window you set
        TRho_Profile_file_flag = .true.
        TRho_Profile_file_dir = 'png'
        TRho_Profile_file_prefix = 'trho_profile_'
You have to create a png directory in your work directory and the png files will be stored there.
You can specify how many of these files you want to keep.
Examples and explanations can be found in the pgstar.default and pgstar.README files, 
which are in the /star/default directory.
