Added routine to determine path to a grid file given the path to the BOUT.inp file
Added routine to determine poloidal index for the outboard midplane. Added routine to calculate expansion parameter eps_p = rho_s / L_p
Added routine to plot expansion parameter eps_p
Added .gitignore file
Removed *.pyc files

Modified contour_over_psi0 to return the figure object
Added a routine to automate plotting of growth rates provided an array of the growth rate vs time. The routine returns a figure object to be shown or saved for viewing later. Useful for batch processing.
Changed indices in t array of growth_rate plot to be consistent with the growth_rate computed from signal module
Reduced number of contours in RZ plot for contour_over_psi0 as they were convoluting the image.
Changed code to use an outer product so that an array of toroidal mode numbers n can be used as input as opposed to a single scalar
EPED model was incorrect and did not account for pressure gradient changes. The modified function takes into account pressure gradient changes by calculating omega_star_i ~ grad(p). Waiting for the exact coefficients for region 1 and 2 from Phil Snyder
Added a routine to grid.py to compute the distance from the Last Closed Flux Surface (LCFS) along the outboard midplane.
Updated EPED diamagnetic stabilization model to use the exact coefficients used in EPED1.6. However, have *slightly* different definitions of omega_star_i that result in O(1) corrections.

Added routine to signal.py to calculate the frequency of a signal. Rudimentary routine that needs work...
Updated omega() commentary
