Issue #927: Field parameter registry (yt_analysis/yt)

by Nathan Goldbaum

New issue 927: Field parameter registry https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issue/927/field-parameter-registry Nathan Goldbaum: I think we should have some sort of field parameter registry. Now that field parameters can have units, we need to somehow know what the units are when we mock up the field parameter during field detection. I think the easiest way to do this would be to explicitly add user-defined field parameters to a `dataset` instance after it is loaded in memory, sort of like particle filters. Before creating a full YTEP for this, I'm opening this issue to facilitate discussion and to check if people think this is a good idea.

Issue #926: cylindrical_radial_velocity does not look right (yt_analysis/yt)

by Suoqing Ji

New issue 926: cylindrical_radial_velocity does not look right https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issue/926/cylindrical_radial_velocity-… Suoqing Ji: Recently I just found that ``cylindrical_radial_velocity`` in yt3 does not give me what I expect. To test this, I setup a 3-D Sedov problem with domain ``[-0.5, 0.5]^3`` and explosion center at ``[0, 0, 0]``, and plot the ``cylindrical_radial_velocity`` as the following image. According to the pattern of the velocity streamline, the cylindrical radial velocity should be positive. ![sedov_hdf5_chk_0001_Slice_z_cylindrical_radial_velocity_original.png](https://bitbucket.org/repo/BXbAb/images/2310642957-sedov_hdf5_chk_0001_Slice_z_cylindrical_radial_velocity_original.png) I don't understand in the function of ``_cylindrical_radial`` in [yt/fields/vector_operations.py](https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/src/10…: ``` #!python def _cylindrical_radial(field, data): normal = data.get_field_parameter("normal") vectors = obtain_rv_vec(data, (xn, yn, zn), "bulk_%s" % basename) theta = resize_vector(data["index", 'cylindrical_theta'], vectors) return get_cyl_r_component(vectors, theta, normal) ``` what does the line of ``resize_vector`` do. If I replace this simply with line ``theta = data['cylindrical_theta']``, it will give the image I expected as the following. ![sedov_hdf5_chk_0001_Slice_z_cylindrical_radial_velocity_modified.png](https://bitbucket.org/repo/BXbAb/images/2376359990-sedov_hdf5_chk_0001_Slice_z_cylindrical_radial_velocity_modified.png) In addition, if I want to plot the same field for a 2-D Sedov dataset, the error of ``yt.utilities.exceptions.YTFieldNotFound: Could not find field '('all', 'cylindrical_radial_velocity')'`` will be raised. However, if changing the line ``` #!python vectors = obtain_rv_vec(data, (xn, yn, zn), "bulk_%s" % basename) ``` into ``` #!python vectors = obtain_rv_vec(data) ``` the correct image will be generated without raising any error. But I'm not very certain what's the correct way to fix this.

Summary of yt Team Meeting 2

by Cameron Hummels

Hello everyone, Yesterday morning, we held the second yt Team Meeting as per the governance YTEP. We had representatives from each of the 5 subcomponents of the code, as well as several additional attendees since it was held at the same time as the yt development workshop at NCSA. I personally think it worked really well to have so many people in attendance, as we were able to address issues more fully with a larger group. I would be in favor of having future meetings open to the full member base and potentially the full dev base. Nathan acted as scribe and took notes on what was discussed. You can see those here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CZgBOkvO3gZQwWUzcBEaCgqynVZlvoHXEiWiEYc… We had to finish the meeting somewhat abruptly and were unable to schedule a follow up meeting as well as the coordinator/scribe for that meeting. I propose that we hold the next meeting a month from now, on Friday 11/14. I propose that Hilary Egan be the organizer, since she was interested in hosting the last meeting, but due to a conflict was unable to do so. Are there any problems with this? Great job, everyone.

units_override PR is ready

by John ZuHone

Hi all, units_override is ready up here: https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/pull-request/1236/wip-apichange-overri… <https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/pull-request/1236/wip-apichange-overri…> I’ve touched a lot of frontends, so everyone who can should have a look, especially RAMSES and MOAB, since I had to make some changes there to prevent references to the dataset from being retained. When fido gives the green light and everyone is ok, it’s ready to go. Best, John

Issue #925: Add an IsocontourPlot (yt_analysis/yt)

by Chris Malone

New issue 925: Add an IsocontourPlot https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issue/925/add-an-isocontourplot Chris Malone: Most visualization software provides the capability to make isocontour plots, even in 3d. We have a round-about way of doing this in a [cookbook recipe](http://yt-project.org/docs/3.0/cookbook/complex_plots.html#plotting…, but this should be much simpler for the user.

Issue #924: Annotated annotate_grids? (yt_analysis/yt)

New issue 924: Annotated annotate_grids? https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issue/924/annotated-annotate_grids Sam Skillman: According to the documentation: http://yt-project.org/doc/visualizing/callbacks.html#overplot-grids One should be able to annotate the grid lines with the grid id.

data_source in YTSelections

by Douglas Harvey Rudd

Hi all, I just submitted PR #1264 which adds a data_source parameter to all YTSelectionContainer classes (except those in construction_data_containers.py). This is apparently a long-standing desired feature request (Issue #521), so please test it and see if it works for you. An example script that shows a slice through a sphere object can be downloaded here: http://paste.yt-project.org/show/5167/ Douglas Rudd Scientific Computing Consultant Research Computing Center drudd(a)uchicago.edu
