projection plotting tools

Hey guys, Again stealing Sam Skillman's sense of style, I wrote up some single and multiple panel image functions for making nice looking images from fixed resolution projection data saved to hdf5 files. Color bar and tick label locations are easily settable (top, bottom, left, right). I put a few example images here for you to check out: http://casa.colorado.edu/~brittons/sample_images/ The plotting functions are here: http://paste.enzotools.org/show/374/ The script I used to make the sample images is here: http://paste.enzotools.org/show/375/ Let me know if you have any comments. Is it worth it to have something like this in yt itself? If so, we might also want to add a simple hdf5 writer for fixed resolution projections. Britton

Britton,
Let me know if you have any comments. Is it worth it to have something like this in yt itself? If so, we might also want to add a simple hdf5 writer for fixed resolution projections.
Those look really professional! I like them. This should definitely be put into yt. _______________________________________________________ sskory@physics.ucsd.edu o__ Stephen Skory http://physics.ucsd.edu/~sskory/ _.>/ _Graduate Student ________________________________(_)_\(_)_______________

Hi Britton, Stephen, I agree, these are very nice. However, as the old saying goes, "Too much light makes the baby go blind." I would like you to incorporate these into yt by either updating or completely replacing the get_multi_plot functions at the bottom of PlotCollection.py. I would say either remove those and place yours in a new module, like yt/raven/multi_plot_helpers.py or update them to include your new features. Honestly, we need something like this that we can all agree on, because I know for a fact at least four different people have built their Own Thing to do it -- let's all start paddling in the same direction, and let's use this for a start! A couple stylistic things: * Can we wrap at 78 characters? * Pyplot causes problems with threading, depending on the backend; could you use the object-oriented interface to instantiate a Figure and apply the transformations to its axes? I can help out with this. * As for the h5py issue, I would prefer to see this accept the 2D image objects (FRBs) and then set up the necessary structure to dump FRBs to and from disk easily. These are great, and I love the way the images look. Thanks! -Matt -Matt On Fri, Mar 19, 2010 at 1:52 PM, Stephen Skory <stephenskory@yahoo.com> wrote:
