Matt,
* Volume decomposition is also not likely to be terribly useful, with the current means of IO. At some point in the future this could and will change, but for now a round-robin approach is the way to go.
Out of general curiosity, what aspect of the IO would have to change?
My inclination is that we start working on this in isolation; I'll commit some changes I mention above tomorrow to the bitbucket yt repo, which I am also mirroring on hg.enzotools.org.
Thank you very much, Matt! While I was certainly not requesting you do my work for me, I had the feeling that what I wanted to do would be related to (or impinge upon) overarching plans you already had for yt. Let me know what I can do for you. _______________________________________________________ sskory@physics.ucsd.edu o__ Stephen Skory http://physics.ucsd.edu/~sskory/ _.>/ _Graduate Student ________________________________(_)_\(_)_______________
