Hi all.<div><br></div><div>I&#39;m a bit confused about the unit mechanics in yt right now. I noticed there&#39;s a convert_function for fields, but there are also the units, time_units, and conversion_factors attributes for StaticOutput.</div>

<div><br></div><div>For the Nyx frontend, I have added convert_function&#39;s for each field to convert the cosmological units into CGS. This works in my fork now and everything is in cgs and plots fine. Now I know I need to update the _set_units method of NyxStaticOutput, but I&#39;m not sure what to do with those attributes and how they are used later.</div>

<div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Casey</div>
