[mesa-users] plot in Timmes' lecture

[Francis Timmes]

ok, good. so its working at a base level. 

rob & chris have already pointed to the most likely culprits,
so i don’t know exactly without trying to run it myself. 
its possible a .mod file built from version 6794 may have
some troubles with the version you happen to be running, 7503?

on the positive side, the tutorial has hopefully done its primary duty;
showing how to build a customized pgstar dashboard for whatever problem 
one is doing.

Getting a pgstar plot with reasonable axes but nothing plotted might be a symptom of static axis limits that preclude the actual data being plotted, but that's just a guess.  We need more information to figure it out -- your pgstar namelist would be a good start.
