Feb. 5, 2016

New issue 1168: Can't set units of colorbar https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/1168/cant-set-units-of-colorbar Anonymous: I'd like to change units of the data in colorbar. But running the attached script leads to this error: http://paste.yt-project.org/show/6222/ I've also tried "p.set_unit(('young_stars', 'age'), 'Myr')" instead of "p.set_unit('age','Myr')" but that comes up with "TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting". Please help. Thanks!

If you think your PR is ready for review and you want it tested just drop the prefix. As usual please let me know if there are any quirks in testing process. Cheers, Kacper

Confusing distribution of the number of particles per octree node
by Bili Dong - Gmail Feb. 4, 2016

Feb. 4, 2016

Hi all, I'm looking at the number of particles per octree node (n_p hereafter) (a.k.a. the ('deposit', 'all_count') field) and find the results confusing. To my understanding, an octree node is refined (into 8 sub-nodes) only when n_p (of that node) > n_ref, so eventually n_p.mean (the average value of n_p) should be greater than n_ref/8. But the number I get is much smaller. When n_ref = 64, I get n_p.mean approximately 2 for all my tests. I'm wondering if my understanding of the octree … [View More]

Feb. 3, 2016

Dear yt developers, At the team meeting today, we discussed having a mini-sprint to finish off the remaining VR refactor stuff in preparation for a 3.3 release.

The first five categories are for issues that, IMO, represent significant usability concerns and block a 3.3 release: 1) Improved Narrative Docs and Cookbook Recipes: Issues 1110 <https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/1110/experimental-vr-camera-… [View More]

Dear yt developers, I have come across your marvellous and beautiful documentation based on notebooks at: http://yt-project.org/docs/dev/quickstart/index.html One question though: how are these notebooks included in the automatic testing framework? https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/src/34ed15d98fe48c75d824fbf6246d8ab89c… Regards, Dacoex
