Issue #1318: Arepo Temperature bug? (yt_analysis/yt)
by Anonymous Feb. 6, 2017

Feb. 6, 2017

New issue 1318: Arepo Temperature bug? https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/1318/arepo-temperature-bug Anonymous: It seems like something recently changed in the frontend that underestimates gas temperatures in Arepo file structures. I recently went back to a simulation to re-evaluate a temperature-based calculation, and found that all the ('gas','temperature') values seem too low by several orders of magnitude. I'm not sure what's going on, but for example when I compare ('PartType0','Temperature') to ('gas','temperature') in a small volume of the simulation (cosmo. simulation centered on the galaxy), you can see that the distribution of temperatures look very different/offset from each other. (Histograms attached). Any help is appreciated. Thanks! -Kyle Stewart

Prepping for yt 3.3.4
by Nathan Goldbaum Feb. 3, 2017

Feb. 3, 2017

Hi all, I just issued a pull request that backports several bugfixes to the stable branch: https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/pull-requests/2514 This is in preparation to do a release of yt 3.3.4. Even though there are only a few backports this time I'd like to get it out the door since there are some fixes that avoid crashes under the latest version of numpy as well as annoying deprecation warnings under matplotlib 2.0. Please let me know if I've missed any bugfixes that you'd like to see backported. -Nathan

Issue #1317: Cannot set background color after changing color map (yt_analysis/yt)
by Hsi-Yu Schive Feb. 2, 2017

Feb. 2, 2017

New issue 1317: Cannot set background color after changing color map https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/1317/cannot-set-background-colo… Hsi-Yu Schive: The following scripts fails. ``` #!python import yt ds = yt.load( "enzo/IsolatedGalaxy/galaxy0030/galaxy0030" ) sz = yt.SlicePlot( ds, 'z', 'density', center='c' ) sz.set_cmap( 'density', 'afmhot' ) sz.set_background_color( 'density' ) sz.save() ``` Error messages: ``` #!python File "demo.py", line 5, in <module> sz.set_background_color( 'density' ) File "/projects/ncsa/grav/hyschive/yt/yt.ori/yt/visualization/plot_container.py", line 69, in newfunc rv = f(*args, **kwargs) File "/projects/ncsa/grav/hyschive/yt/yt.ori/yt/visualization/plot_container.py", line 317, in set_background_color cmap = yt_colormaps[cmap] KeyError: 'afmhot' ``` Note that setting background color explicitly works. For example, ``` #!python sz.set_background_color( 'density', color='black' ) ```

Issue #1316: Unit conversion with equivalency (yt_analysis/yt)
by Hsi-Yu Schive Feb. 2, 2017

Feb. 2, 2017

New issue 1316: Unit conversion with equivalency https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/1316/unit-conversion-with-equiv… Hsi-Yu Schive: The following script fails. ``` #!python import yt ds = yt.load("IsolatedGalaxy/galaxy0030/galaxy0030") slc = yt.SlicePlot(ds, 'z', 'temperature', width=(10,'kpc')) #this line causes a problem slc.set_buff_size(2048) slc.set_unit('temperature', 'keV', equivalency='thermal') slc.save() ``` Error messages: ``` #!python yt.utilities.exceptions.YTUnitConversionError: Unit dimensionalities do not match. Tried to convert between K**2/erg (dim (temperature)**2*(time)**2/((length)**2*(mass))) and K (dim (temperature)). ``` This issue is related to pull request #2424. Note that calling set_buff_size() AFTER set_unit() does not trigger this issue.
