Testing infra is currently down
by Kacper Kowalik
Hi all,
we had a hdd failure on a machine hosting yt's jenkins and blog
instances. PRs are not being tested at the moment. I don't have an ETA
for a replacement yet. I will keep you posted.
Cheers,

Why does ProjectionPlot not take and pass **kwargs
by Yi-Hao Chen
Hi all,
I am wondering why ProjectionPlot (and others) do not take all the keyword
arguments and pass them to PWViewerMPL and PlotWindow. For example,
currently there is no way to set buff_size at the creation of a plot. One
has to call .set_buff_size after the plot was created.
I am thinking about leaving only the arguments specific to ProjectionPlot
explicitly, and use **kwargs to pass all other arguments to PlotWindow. But
if there are reasons not to do this, please let me know.
Thanks!

Implementing new Difference Plots
by Matthew Krafczyk
Hi folks,
I'm currently working on implementing a couple of plots to help investigate
differences between two similar datasets.
I've implemented DifferenceProjectionPlot,
RelativeDifferenceProjectionPlot, and AsymmetryProjectionPlot.
These are available at my fork of yt https://bitbucket.org/krafczyk/yt under
the bookmark 'features/difference_plot'.
Essentially, Each of these Plots is a subclass of PWViewerMPL like
ProjectionPlot, but create's it's FRB by first creating FRBs for the two
data sets then applying an operation to each pixel value to get a new
derived value which is a part of the new FRB.
For DifferenceProjectionPlot this is simply A-B
For RelativeDifferenceProjectionPlot this is (A-B)/A
For AsymmetryProjectionPlot this is (A-B)/(A+B)
It's already been suggested to me that I can avoid creating three new
classes by moving the choice of combination algorithm to a keyword
argument, but I'd like to hear more suggestions.
Thanks,
Matthew Krafczyk

Issue #1304: Boolean objects only inherit the fields present in both of their parent objects (yt_analysis/yt)
by chummels
New issue 1304: Boolean objects only inherit the fields present in both of their parent objects
https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/1304/boolean-objects-only-inh...
chummels:
Boolean objects are meant to combine the fields present in two data objects from the same dataset. Normally, this means that they will have the same fields present.
However, the `ray` object creates a special field `"t"` as a parametric variable to tell you how far along the ray you are (goes from 0 to 1). When I take an intersection of this `ray` object with a `region` object, the result lacks this `"t"` field because `"t"` is only present in a single parent in the boolean intersection.
Here is an example of this in action with a sample dataset:
import yt
import numpy as np
ds = yt.load("gizmo_cosmology_plus/snap_N128L16_151.hdf5")
ad = ds.all_data()
ad[('gas', 'temperature')]
ray_start = ds.arr(np.random.random(3), 'unitary')
ray_end = ds.arr(np.random.random(3), 'unitary')
ray1 = ds.ray(ray_start, ray_end)
ray2 = ray1 & ad
# ray1 object *has* a t field because it was created from scratch
print ray1['t']
# ray2 object *lacks* a t field because only one of its parents contains it
print ray2['t']

Refactor particle dataset
by Bili Dong
Hi Everyone,
I’m bugging the mailing list to gather opinions from anyone interested the PR <https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/pull-requests/2474/wip-refactor-part...> I’m working.
The purpose of the PR <https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/pull-requests/2474/wip-refactor-part...> is to refactor the `ParticleDataset` class in yt. Currently the `ParticleDataset` is not much different from `Dataset`, but there sure are common attributes and methods specific to particle datasets that should be put in the `ParticleDataset` class. To make particle dataset better supported in yt, I plan to do the following things:
- Move particle specific operations from `Dataset` to `ParticleDataset`.
- Add some particle dataset specific properties.
- Gather common operations from `ParticleDataset`’s direct inheritance to `ParticleDataset` itself. Currently there are common parts in `TipsyDataset` and `GadgetDataset`’s constructor that I have figured out. There might be more.
- As Nathan suggested, it might be good to have an `SPHParticleDataset` for SPH codes but `ParticleDataset` for pure N-body codes.
If you’re interested in any of these, or have any idea to add, please feel free to leave your comments here or in the PR <https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/pull-requests/2474/wip-refactor-part...>.
Thanks,
Bili

Imminent yt 3.3.3 stable bugfix release
by Cameron Hummels
Hey everyone,
I've put together a PR of backported bugfixes for an upcoming yt 3.3.3
release. Feel free to glance it over and give comments. The PR includes a
couple dozen bugfixes merged over the last 1.5 months since our last bugfix
release. It passes all the unit tests in py2 and py3, but fails several
answer tests simply because of misalignment between the stable and dev api.
I was hoping to get this merged rather quickly so we can put out the
release in the next day or so. This will be the stable version of yt that
trident builds off of, and we're putting out the trident method paper on
the arxiv this week with our first 1.0 release of the code.
Let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Issue #1302: `take_log` works on generic field name, but not front end name (yt_analysis/yt)
by Michael Zingale
New issue 1302: `take_log` works on generic field name, but not front end name
https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/1302/take_log-works-on-generi...
Michael Zingale:
This script reads in a Castro (boxlib) file and makes two plots. The goal is to not take the log. For the first attempt, we disable log using the field `('boxlib', 'density')`. For the next, we use `('gas', 'density').
Note these are ailased to one another as the print shows:
```
On-Disk Field (boxlib, density): (units: g/cm**3, display_name: '\rho')
Alias Field for "('boxlib', 'density')" (gas, density): (units: g/cm**3, display_name: '\rho')
```
but only the one with `gas` successfully disables the log.
```
import yt
ds = yt.load("plt00000")
print(ds.fields.boxlib.density)
print(ds.fields.gas.density)
ds.index
ds.field_info['boxlib','density'].take_log = False
p = yt.SlicePlot(ds,"theta",'density')
p.save("densBoxLib.png")
ds = yt.load("plt00000")
ds.index
ds.field_info['gas','density'].take_log = False
p = yt.SlicePlot(ds,"theta", 'density')
p.save("densGas.png")
```
The test dataset is here:
http://bender.astro.sunysb.edu/random/plt00000.tgz
(for some reason, I can no longer open the datasets on the yt page, so something changed in the front end that I need to investigate separately, and/or, update the sample datasets)

Re: [yt-dev] Soliciting opinions about how to handle data tables for spectral integrator port
by Matthew Turk
Hi,
I'm okay with this, but let's try to make it obvious where things go.
(which you have all suggested.)
I think astropy does this and has helper functions for it.

HI all,
I agree that it would be best to keep the data files out of the repo. What
about adding some config variables to control where the data gets stored?
We could even have it default to storing things in .config/yt. Perhaps, on
the first import when the data is not there, you just get a notice with
links to wget/curl them.
