[mesa-users] plot in Timmes' lecture

[Francis Timmes]

the existing “power" single panel profile might be what you want for a “burn rate” plot:
http://mesa.sourceforge.net/pgstar.html

going beyond the current plot types requires coding.
on the other hand,  there are several external visualization utilities
that are flexible in terms of generating plots:

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.
