Hi Cameron, Yeah, a kwarg for the actual .arbitrary_grid would be great, but that can't be expressed in the slicing notation (or rather, it can, but it's unnatural). So getting the default is what I was hoping for; for particle quantities, we'll just have it do the standard "deposit" machinery which lets you do any type of interpolation you like, so it's less of a thing. -Matt On Fri, Sep 25, 2015 at 7:13 PM, Cameron Hummels <chummels@gmail.com> wrote:
How about default to one of the options, but have a kwarg to decide which method to choose? I sort of like trilinear interp but I'm just thinking of grid-based data. Maybe default to trilinear interp for grid-based quantities and nearest neighbor for particle based quantities?

I'd say nearest neighbor. Then it's also a generalization of what the FixedResolutionBuffer does.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for the feedback -- I've made a bunch of changes and additions. One thing I wanted to ask was about 3D slicing that includes steps. For instance, in numpy style:
ds = yt.load(...) ds.d[ (-5, 'km') : (5, 'km') : 128j, (-10, 'km') : (10, 'km') : 256j, (-2.5, 'km') : (2.5, 'km'): 64j]
this should return a 128x256x64 3D array. But, how do we generate that?
The obvious thing would be to do either covering grid or arbitrary grids. The former requires alignment with cell boundaries, and the latter currently only supports particles. I think "arbitrary_grid" maps a lot more naturally to the situation, though. So it would require implementing mesh fields in the arbitrary_grid object, which is fine, but it's not clear to me the right *way* to do that. I think the choice might be between nearest neighbor and trilinear interpolation. So, for the *default* behavior, should we do:
* Trilinear interpolation (maybe nicer, but also subject to crazytimes with stuff that isn't a volume quantity, like mass) * Nearest neighbor (way, way faster, but also lower quality values in many cases)?
My inclination is #2, but I wanted a sanity check...

Hi all,
I'd very much appreciate feedback on this YTEP:
https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/ytep/pull-requests/55/ytep-0026-numpy-like...
The related PR that starts implementing them is here:
https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/pull-requests/1763/wip-proposed-set-of-...
Two things that I think need some bikeshedding -- histogram and the step argument to slicing.
