YT Phase Plot Loop
by Nicholas Earl 31 Dec '10

31 Dec '10

Hey all, I am trying to to have yt load up a data set, and then create phase plots with varying weighted fields like the script below. The problem is that when reaches the 'for item in field' loop, after each image output, the loop starts over instead of continuing to the next field... for instance, the output for a series of numbers representing the images would look like this: 1 1 2 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 etc I am not quite sure how to remedy this, so I'm hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks for your efforts! Nicholas Earl from yt.mods import * # set up our namespace #field = ['Temperature','Cooling_Time'] field = ['Cooling_Time','Density','Electron_Fraction','Gas_Energy','H2II_Fraction','H2I_Fraction','HII_Fraction','HI_Fraction','HM_Fraction','HeIII_Fraction','HeII_Fraction','HeI_Fraction','Metal_Fraction','Temperature','Total_Energy','x-velocity','y-velocity'] for n in range(1,402): #for item in field: pf = load("DD%04i/DD%04i" % (n,n)) # load dataset #for item in field: pc = PlotCollection(pf, center=[1.0, 0.5, 0.5]) # defaults to center at most dense point for item in field: #value, position = pf.h.find_max("Density") #print value, position pc.add_phase_sphere(10.0, "pc", # how many of which unit at pc.center ["Density", "Temperature", "CellMassMsun"], # our fields: x, y, color weight="%s" % (item))# don't take the average value in a cell, just sum them up #print item pc.save('./denstemp_weighted/%s' % (pf)) # save all plots

problems with yt

Hi, Also trying to install yt on the same system, but having problems with both methods I tried! I tried using the install script I got from the yt website and it gets a fair way along and then chokes on: changing mode of /home/wadsley/enzo/yt//bin/2to3 to 775 changing mode of /home/wadsley/enzo/yt//bin/smtpd.py to 775 running install_egg_info Writing /home/wadsley/enzo/yt//lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/Python-2.6.3-py2.6.egg-info if test -f /home/wadsley/enzo/yt//bin/python -o -h /home/wadsley/enzo/yt//bin/python; \ then rm -f /home/wadsley/enzo/yt//bin/python; \ else true; \ fi (cd /home/wadsley/enzo/yt//bin; ln python2.6 python) rm -f /home/wadsley/enzo/yt//bin/python-config (cd /home/wadsley/enzo/yt//bin; ln -s python2.6-config python-config) Creating directory /home/wadsley/enzo/yt//share/man/man1 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./Misc/python.man \ /home/wadsley/enzo/yt//share/man/man1/python.1 abort: clone -r not supported yet for remote repositories. abort: repository /home/wadsley/enzo/yt/src/yt-hg/ not found! abort: repository /home/wadsley/enzo/yt/src/yt-hg/ not found! abort: repository /home/wadsley/enzo/yt/src/yt-hg/ not found! /home/wadsley/enzo/yt/bin/python2.6: can't open file '/home/wadsley/enzo/yt/src/yt-hg//distribute_setup.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory Then I tried grabbing it via: hg clone http://hg.enzotools.org/yt/ yt-2 and python setup.py install but got: bash-3.1$ python setup.py install Downloading http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/d/distribute/distribute-0.6.10.tar.gz Extracting in /home/wadsley/tmp/tmpQck3di Now working in /home/wadsley/tmp/tmpQck3di/distribute-0.6.10 Building a Distribute egg in /1/home/wadsley/enzo/yt-2 /1/home/wadsley/enzo/yt-2/distribute-0.6.10-py2.4.egg Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 73, in ? setup_package() File "setup.py", line 33, in setup_package from numpy.distutils.core import setup ImportError: No module named numpy.distutils.core Failure is sad :( Elizabeth

coloring grids and change the range of slices
by Wolfram Schmidt 17 Dec '10

17 Dec '10

Hi, I've got two questions: (1) Is it possible to change the colors of grid boundaries (produced with the grids callback), preferably, using different colors corresponding to refinement levels? (2) Surely, there must be something to specify the x- and y-range of slices. Where in the documentation is it explained how to do that? Best regards, Wolfram

Hi Molly, > I'm getting an error when trying to run MergerTree: > amods.halo_merger_tree.MergerTree(restart_files=files, > database='/home/molly-ucla/halos.db') Sorry! That was a careless error on my part. I've just pushed a change (3e99bb6dbb72) that should fix this. Let me know if it doesn't.

Freetype added to yt build system
by Matthew Turk 14 Dec '10

14 Dec '10

Hi all, As of just now, I've pushed a change to add FreeType2 wrappers to yt, to enable easier image annotation, particularly from volume rendering. The function is included in yt.mods, and it's called annotate_image. (It is documented -- "help(annotate_image)".) This should be the start of much faster image writing. There may be issues with compilation on your next update, when you execute: yt instinfo -u although I have attempted to guess the paths correctly, and all new installations using the install script will include FreeType2. If you run into any issues with this change, please email me directly, off-list. -Matt

How to turn on Debugging?
by Chris Malone 13 Dec '10

13 Dec '10

Hi, It's not very well documented - or at least I wasn't having luck finding mention in the docs - how to properly turn on debugging for yt. After some time digging through the source, I have found that this is handled through the *logging* module - a standard module, which I am not (but should be) familiar with. Anyhow, I have gathered that I can turn on debugging by adding the following two lines to my ~/.yt/config file: [yt] LogFile = True LogLevel = 0 Is this the recommended usage? Is there an easier way to turn debugging on for, say, a single iyt or yt invocation via a command line argument? Chris

Thanks, also, for the reminder to inspect the source for hints :). Stephen Skory stephenskory(a)yahoo.com http://stephenskory.com/ 510.621.3687 (google voice)

Matt, > You might try printing out what is fed into the combine function; I > think what you really want to do is return (data["creation_time"] > > 0).sum() in _NumberOfStars. Inside _combNumberOfStars try printing > both data and ct, as well, to see if it's an axis problem with the > combine function. It appears that for some reason only the first entry of each of the arrays from the grids is being fed into the combine function. The script <http://paste.enzotools.org/show/1411/> outputs <http://paste.enzotools.org/show/1412/>. This sim has 297 grids, which is the size of the ct array in the combine function. I'm confused...
