[yt-users] Does anybody have a sample script for plotting a time-series of images from frb's?

Hi Kathy,

Thanks for writing!  Sorry to hear things aren't working.

So, I think you might end up having to do it brute force.  Getting the
layout precisely correct may be tricky, and you'll probably want to
adjust it carefully to make it look exactly as you like.

get_multi_plot is not the best -- I think AxesGrid might be the best
bet, but I have not had too much experience.  In general, you may not
even need it, if you can construct your own axes by creating a Figure
in matplotlib of the right size, and then Axes objects within it.  But
I'm not sure I have a ready made solution that does 20 in a row.  I
know Jeff Oishi has done N in a row (where 5<N<20) but I don't know if
he's got the script handy.
