[aspect-devel] Trying to customize dynamic topography

[FELIPE ORELLANA ROVIROSA]

 Hello Jacky,

   Thanks for your advices and comments.

   Indeed, I opened the output files in Paraview, and as you pointed out,
dynamic topography is one of the plotting options on the menu now.

   I will be testing and checking for computations and graphics consistency.

   Thanks a lot Jacqueline.

warm regards,
Felipe
