Just a quick note: a few weeks ago I wrote some scripts to import data
from Mesa's text logs (star/test/logs) into Matlab, store the
resulting data as a matlab binary data (.mat) file, and generate
arbitrary 3d plots. I put these online here:
http://www.jshine.net/astronomy/mesa/
These aren't particularly efficient -- some of the code could be sped
up considerably with a bit of effort -- but they should work.
I'm not sure I'll continue on this path though, since Matlab is not
free software & there are other interesting options with Python
(thanks for the heads-up Dr. Herwig!). I've also been tinkering with
giving Mesa support for NetCDF binary output of stellar profile data
(from mesa rev. 1000 forward), which should make writing text-import
filters in various languages less necessary in the future.
