[Mesa-users] Plotting main sequence and subgiant liftimes

[Pablo Marchant]

Hi Nicholas,

it seems what you want to do involves combining information from multiple
simulations. This is not something pgstar is designed to do. So I'd
recommend you post-process your simulations and plot your results using
code outside MESA, for instance with python and matplotlib (
https://matplotlib.org/users/pyplot_tutorial.html). Since the MESA output
consist of ASCII files this is straightforward.

Cheers
