[mesa-users] pgstar - colours

[Robert Farmer]

Hi Jakub
Time to plug my plot script :) , if you would prefer editing colors in
python rather than  fortran.
https://github.com/rjfarmer/mesaplot

To plot a kip plot:

import mesaPlot as mp
m=mp.MESA()
p=mp.plot()
m.loadHistory()
p.plotKip(m)

which should give you something close to MESA's kip plot. To change the
colors of the mixing regions then we need to look at two lists

p.mix_names which gives the order of the mixing regions in p.mix_colors
p.mix_colors is a list of lists of RGB values

For instance to change the convection color, p.mix_names shows its the [1]
element, so setting:
p.mix_colors[1]=[1.0,1.0,1.0]
then call p.plotKip(m) again, changes convection to white.
