Demonstrate the dense basis approach for describing the SFZH

This script demonstrates how to describe a SFZH in the dense basis formalism. It includes the following steps: - Builds and plots a parametric galaxy using a dense basis representation - Creates spectra from this object

  • plot dense basis
  • plot dense basis
  • plot dense basis
