Hi all,

Currently the ellipsoid 3D container has a couple short coming that makes it undesirable to use, I think the most major one is that it does not return the particle information (positions, velocities, type etc)

I am interested at least in fixing it, because I may use this directly in my research, so I was wondering if anyone has worked on 3D containers to help me out in digging for the cause of this?

The code that describes the 3D container is in this file
yt-hg/yt/data_objects/data_containers.py

Originally, I emulated what was done with the sphere 3D object, and I thought I followed everything that was done, but obviously I missed something. It is possibly very subtle or glaringly visible but I am just blind to it.

any thoughts or hints for what to look at/where to dig would be appreciated.
