[Mesa-users] Kippenhahn diagram pgstar remove x and y labels

[Francis Timmes]

hi nick,

restarting from photos instead of .mod files will ensure the history file is continuous,
hence a kippenhan plot done with pgstar or otherwise will continue.

if i'm understanding unstated aspects behind of your question.

I had a follow up question, when I evolve my stars I use a particular stopping condition and then change some physics and start from the outputted model, how do I get the Kippenhahn plot to continue the same plot, i.e. plot the previous evolution prior to the stopping condition on the next window?

Additionally like how there’s a Myrs option for age am I able to implement a mass flag that could change the scale to 10^3 Msun?
