Examples

>>> isocmd = readisocmd.MIST('MIST_v1.0_feh_p0.00_afe_p0.0_vvcrit0.4.iso.cmd')
>>> age_ind = isocmd.age_index(7.0)
>>> B = isocmd.isocmds[age_ind]['Bessell_B']
>>> V = isocmd.isocmds[age_ind]['Bessell_V']
>>> plt.plot(B-V, V) #plot the CMD for logage = 7.0

Methods Summary

`age_index`(age)	Get the isochrone table index for the input age.
`read_isocmd_file`()	Reads in the .iso.cmd file.
