Issue #1185: data wrapping error when altering slice axes (yt_analysis/yt)
by Patrick Shriwise March 14, 2016

March 14, 2016

New issue 1185: data wrapping error when altering slice axes https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/1185/data-wrapping-error-when-a… Patrick Shriwise: When creating sliceplots, I've been experiencing an effect in which some hdf5 data that is cutoff by the set width of the plot is added on or wrapped onto the remaining space at the other end of the plot. This can be fixed by increasing the width of the plot along the axis for which the wrapping is occuring, but clearly shouldn't be … [View More]

Build statuses for pull request
by Kacper Kowalik March 13, 2016

March 13, 2016

Hi all! Some time ago Bitbucket introduced build statuses [1]. From the point of view of our development process they're ill-designed as they requires testing infrastructure to have repo:write access to each and every fork of yt_analysis/yt. Nevertheless, I updated fido to use that functionality as an *opt-in* feature. You can see how it looks like on PR 2036. If you'd like to have fancy icons indicating test results nicely attached to your commits on a pull requests, you can do it by … [View More]

Interested in GSoC idea 'Web Development for Gammapy'
by Wasim Thabraze March 9, 2016

March 9, 2016

Hello everyone, I am Wasim Thabraze, a Computer Science Undergraduate. I have thoroughly gone through the GSoC ideas page and have narrowed down my choices to the project 'Web Development for Gammapy'. I have experience in web development using Python and Javascript. Openflock (www.openflock.co) is one of such projects I built using Python. I have also contributed to couple of Open source projects (Openhatch and Mozilla Marketplace). Looking at the TeVCat website, I have got a rough idea on … [View More]

Testing infra - update
by Kacper Kowalik March 9, 2016

March 9, 2016

Hi, as you may have noticed I've recently introduced new test runner (PR 1893 and PR 2010). It allows to keep testsuite defined as a part of main yt repository. Each test run parses 'tests/tests_2.7.yaml' and creates a set of nose tasks out of it. The aforementioned 'tests_2.7.yaml' looks like this: answer_tests: local_artio_270: - yt/frontends/artio/tests/test_outputs.py ... other_tests: unittests: - '-v' where each element in 'answer_tests' defines answer name (local_artio_270 … [View More]

yt.deb needs maintainer
by Kacper Kowalik March 8, 2016

March 8, 2016

Hi! as most of you know, we have an official Debian package for yt[1] I used to maintain it, but nowadays I don't have enough spare cycles to do that anymore. I'd like you to ask if someone is willing to maintain it in my place. We have a very friendly contact downstream: Ole Streicher, whom I've cc'ed in this mail. I'm sure he'll be an invaluable help to anyone wanting to keep this work going. Cheers, Kacper [1] https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-astro/packages/yt.git

Issue #1184: Datasets are recognized as orion2 if an "orion2.ini" file exists (yt_analysis/yt)
by Nathan Goldbaum March 8, 2016

March 8, 2016

New issue 1184: Datasets are recognized as orion2 if an "orion2.ini" file exists https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/1184/datasets-are-recognized-as… Nathan Goldbaum: So for some reason my test data directory has an "orion2.ini" file in it. This means that any data directories I try to load are getting recognized incorrectly as orion2 datasets. I think the orion2 frontend should be smarter about this, maybe by checking if other files exist before returning from `_is_valid`. @atmyers … [View More]

Make the default camera lens the perspective lens
by Nathan Goldbaum March 8, 2016

March 8, 2016

Hi all, I'm curious what people think about switching the default camera lens from "plane-parallel" to "perspective". Perspective cameras are more intuitive - it makes sense to talk about a camera position and orientation, since all the rays originate from a single point. The last time this came up, the major concern was that perspective renders were not as performant as plane-parallel renders. Today Kacper submitted a PR that substantially improves the performance of the perspective camera:… [View More]

Issue #1183: "Failed to split grids" when volume rendering GIZMO data (yt_analysis/yt)
by Sanghyuk Moon March 8, 2016

March 8, 2016

New issue 1183: "Failed to split grids" when volume rendering GIZMO data https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/1183/failed-to-split-grids-when… Sanghyuk Moon: I encountered a problem trying to volume render GIZMO snapshot. The other visualizations such as `SlicePlot` and `ProjectionPlot` were all successful. But everytime I try to create `Camera` for the volume rendering, I got the message "*Failed to split grids.*" and returned `ImageArray` is just black image. Has anyone resolved this … [View More]
