This has happened several times on 2 of my machines. Installing with the install_ script and it continues for 10-15 minutes, having downloaded the tars and starting to compile. Suddenly without any warning the terminal just vanishes. When I bring it back up and restart, installation resumes but vanishes again after a few seconds. Installation completed fine on my 3rd machine -- within minutes of the problem on the other 2. Network connections on my end are okay. One of the logs did say something about "failure to retreive" something just before the terminal vanished. -Thanks.

Scripting with Quicktime Pro

by John Wise

Hi all, This isn't yt related, but I thought most of you would benefit from this. I usually use Quicktime Pro (v7) to make movies. I got tired of manually opening up the images and saving them, so I found that Applescript can easily automate this. It's pretty straightforward, and you can make a shell or python script that writes the Applescript and executes it. Here's an example Applescript http://paste.enzotools.org/show/480/ To run it, type "osascript script_name.applescript". Here's an example Python routine that makes the script and runs it. http://paste.enzotools.org/show/481/ Unfortunately this doesn't work with the new QuickTime Player in Snow Leopard because they removed the image sequence loader for some reason. I had to reinstall the old QT from the Optional Installs in the install DVD. Cheers, John

Halo Finding bugfix

by Stephen Skory

Hi all, I've just committed in trunk r1705 a bugfix to HaloFinding.py that addresses a problem some users were seeing. In particular, the same data field was being repeatedly read off disk, once per halo, which seriously degraded performance. If you want to upgrade to the latest trunk version, "yt instinfo -u" should do it. _______________________________________________________ sskory(a)physics.ucsd.edu o__ Stephen Skory http://physics.ucsd.edu/~sskory/ _.>/ _Graduate Student ________________________________(_)_\(_)_______________

Line through slice

by Nicholas Earl

Hey community, Was wondering if anyone has any idea how I might put in a line at some x value when I do a Simple Slice. Just a simple line along the y-axis. Thanks for your time and effort, Nicholas Earl

libpng and new volume rendering methods

by Matthew Turk

Hi everyone, (if you're on yt-1.6, feel free to ignore this message!) I've backported the multivariate volume rendering (for instance: http://yt.enzotools.org/attachment/wiki/Screenshots/hiiregion_rgb.png http://yt.enzotools.org/attachment/wiki/Screenshots/Reion512_600px.png http://yt.enzotools.org/attachment/wiki/Screenshots/SimB-BH.png ) to the yt trunk; this also comes with the ability to project through a simulation along a non-orthogonal vector, so you can create images that, for instance, peer down the L vector of a gas cloud but include contributions from all the intervening gas -- it's much faster and higher quality than stacking cutting planes, which was the old method for doing this. (Example: http://yt.enzotools.org/attachment/wiki/Screenshots/halo_0029.png ) The new backend for volume rendering should be API compatible with the old, but if you update your installation you will have to rebuild the C extensions either by doing: $ yt instinfo -u or by re-installing. The new multivariate volume rendering as well as the off-axis projecting have not yet been documented. This also comes with a direct PNG writer, which is much faster than using matplotlib for outputting raw images; it also comes with a couple colormaps. This requires that libpng be installed. yt will do its best to locate libpng, but if it cannot find it, you will have to supply it in png.cfg, much like for hdf5 -- however, the installation script has been updating to install libpng if requested, so if you run into any problems, rerun a new version of the installation script. (Running it over top of an old installation should be fine, as it will just conduct the necessary upgrades.) For the next release, both the new volume rendering mechanism and the image writer will be documented in detail; the release is probably about a week or two away. Let me know if you're eager to get your hands on the API docs for either of these things and I'll shoot you some sample scripts. If you run into any problems, let us know! Best, Matt

'dx' field from ortho_ray

It seems that ortho_ray produces a 'dx' field (also 'CellLength') that is not the same order as the other data fields.

Volume rendering - filenames

by Mike Butler

Hello, This is probably a simple thing to fix, but I've been trying to use the volume rendering package on my data and am running into an error. If I follow the steps at http://paste.enzotools.org/show/404/ when I get to mi,ma = dd.quantities["Extrema"]("Density")[0] I get the error message at the bottom of this email. It seems that it is looking for files ending in .cpu000# rather than .grid.cpu000# like the default enzo output. I've tried doing a rename but then I get the same error but the other way around. Making a copy of the file with each filename works if I'm just doing a single image, but I'm trying to make a movie so doing that for 100 files for 8 cpus each would be a bit tedious. If anyone knows a way around this or I'm doing something wrong, I'd appreciate any suggestions.

bug in ortho_ray and derived fields?

by Michael Kuhlen

Hi I'm experiencing some weird behavior with ortho_ray() when used with derived fields. I suspect this is a bug, but I'm new to yt, so maybe I'm doing something incorrectly. This is for a 1D Enzo simulation, and the only fields in the simulation dataset are Density, x-velocity, and TotalEnergy. I defined two derived fields, InternalEnergy and Pressure: ### define InternalEnergy field def _InternalEnergy(field, data): return data['TotalEnergy'] - 0.5*data['x-velocity']*data['x-velocity'] add_field('InternalEnergy', function=_InternalEnergy, units=r'\rm{erg}/\rm{g}') ### define Pressure field def _Pressure(field, data): return (data.pf['Gamma'] - 1.0) * data['Density'] * data['InternalEnergy'] add_field('Pressure', function=_Pressure, units=r'\rm{dyne}/\rm{cm}^{2}') Next I want to extract a ray of Density, x-velocity, Pressure, and InternalEnergy along the only dimension. I figured ortho_ray is the right tool. ray = pf.h.ortho_ray(0, [0.5, 0.5], ['x-velocity', 'Density', 'InternalEnergy', 'Pressure']) print ray.keys() This produces: ['Pressure', 'x', 'x-velocity', 'InternalEnergy', 'Density'] Perfect, everything as desired. However, if I change the order of the input fields, some disappear from the ray. Examples: (1) ray = pf.h.ortho_ray(0, [0.5, 0.5], ['Density', 'x-velocity', 'Pressure', 'InternalEnergy']) print ray.keys() ['x', 'x-velocity', 'Pressure', 'Density'] -- 'InternalEnergy' is missing. (2) ray = pf.h.ortho_ray(0, [0.5, 0.5], ['Pressure', 'Density', 'x-velocity']) print ray.keys() ['Pressure'] -- 'Density' and 'x-velocity' are missing. (3) ray = pf.h.ortho_ray(0, [0.5, 0.5], ['InternalEnergy', 'Density', 'x-velocity']) print ray.keys() ['InternalEnergy', 'Density'] -- 'x-velocity' is missing. The pattern I'm seeing here is that whenever 'InternalEnergy' is specified as an input only one field after it makes it into the ray. When 'Pressure' is specified, no further fields make it. I don't imagine this behavior is intended, but maybe it's due to some user error on my part? Thanks in advance for any clarifications.

Problem with yt and h5py

by Brian O'Shea

Dear yt-users, I'm having a strange problem with yt (svn trunk, r1693). If I run this script: from yt.mods import * fn = "DD0050/DD0050" pf = load(fn) dd = pf.h.all_data() I get the following error: yt INFO 2010-04-18 13:41:48,183 Getting the binary hierarchy Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/mnt/home/oshea/yt-x86_64/src/yt-trunk-svn/yt/lagos/OutputTypes.py", line 150, in _get_hierarchy self.__hierarchy = self._hierarchy_class(self, data_style=self.data_style) File "/mnt/home/oshea/yt-x86_64/src/yt-trunk-svn/yt/lagos/HierarchyType.py", line 374, in __init__ AMRHierarchy.__init__(self, pf, data_style) File "/mnt/home/oshea/yt-x86_64/src/yt-trunk-svn/yt/lagos/HierarchyType.py", line 55, in __init__ self._parse_hierarchy() File "/mnt/home/oshea/yt-x86_64/src/yt-trunk-svn/yt/lagos/HierarchyType.py", line 435, in _parse_hierarchy if self._parse_binary_hierarchy(): return File "/mnt/home/oshea/yt-x86_64/src/yt-trunk-svn/yt/lagos/HierarchyType.py", line 506, in _parse_binary_hierarchy self.grid_dimensions[:] = f["/ActiveDimensions"][:] File "/mnt/home/oshea/yt-x86_64/lib/python2.6/site-packages/h5py-1.2.0-py2.6-linux-x86_64.egg/h5py/highlevel.py", line 961, in __getitem__ basetype = self.id.dtype File "h5d.pyx", line 109, in h5py.h5d.DatasetID.dtype.__get__ (h5py/h5d.c:1423) File "h5t.pyx", line 364, in h5py.h5t.TypeID.dtype.__get__ (h5py/h5t.c:2919) File "h5t.pyx", line 367, in h5py.h5t.TypeID.py_dtype (h5py/h5t.c:2976) TypeError: No NumPy equivalent for TypeIntegerID exists I installed this version of yt on MSU's supercomputer using the install script at http://svn.enzotools.org/yt/trunk/doc/install_script.sh (the supercomputer uses gcc v4.1.2), and as far as I can tell everything relevant, including hdf5 and h5py, installed successfully. The same simple set of commands works fine on my laptop with the same dataset. I'm pointing my LD_LIBRARY_PATH environmental variable to the correct directory, so I don't think it's that. Any ideas about what's going on here? Some more system details: The output of uname -a for this system is is "Linux dev-amd09 2.6.16.60-0.21-smp #1 SMP Tue May 6 12:41:02 UTC 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux". The system uses gcc v4.1.2 and I'm installing yt _without_ wxPython. Thanks, Brian
