Add page for fiasco/IDL comparisons #215

Closed wtbarnes closed 4 months ago

wtbarnes commented 1 year ago

It might be useful to have a page of the docs dedicated to showing comparisons better fiasco and IDL for various quantities, e.g. contribution functions, ionization rates, continuum emission. This could serve as a graphical comparison to make sure there is consistency between the two codes.

This would obviously not be run each time the docs are built. Instead, the IDL results would be stored in a file and plotted. These files would be per Chianti version and also fiasco version. There would be a script in the repo that generated this data and this would be done by hand for each version combination (maybe as part of the version release).
