+1 on prettying the field list On Tue Nov 25 2014 at 7:06:24 AM Michael Zingale < michael.zingale@stonybrook.edu> wrote:
I've been looking over the field list:
http://yt-project.org/docs/dev/reference/field_list.html#field-list
At the bottom of that page, we list the fields specific to each frontend/code. I'd like to make the presentation for each frontend a table, with columns for the name, units, what its aliases to, and whether it is a particle -- these are what we currently list, and perhaps show the display name. Showing it as a table for each frontend would be more compact than the list, and I think it would be clearer for people to read. Before I hack the script that writes that page, I wanted to see if there are any objections.
Also, a minor point, there is a _dynamical_time() field which I assume is the free-fall timescale assuming uniform density throughout the collapse. I've always seen a '32' not '16' in the denominator (see, e.g. Carroll & Ostlie, Eq. 12.26 or Kippenhahn & Weigert Eq. 27.10).
