`tulips` creates diagrams of the stucture and evolution of stars. It creates plots and movies based on output from 
the [MESA](http://mesa.sourceforge.net/) stellar evolution code. 
`tulips` represents stars as circles with varying size and color. 
`tulips`' capabilities include visualizing the size and perceived color of stars, their interior 
mixing and nuclear burning processes, their chemical composition, and comparing different MESA models.
