Hi all, Thanks for all your help over the last couple of days. One more question: - Can I plot particles on a volume rendered image? I have stars and I want to show where they are!

Variance in phase/profiles

by david collins

Hi, Everybody! Does anyone out there have a technique for getting the variance out of a profile object? A profile object is good at getting <X> vs. B, I'd then like to get < (X - <X>)^2 > vs B. Matt and I had spittballed the possibility some time ago, but I was wondering if anyone out there had successfully done it. Thanks, d. -- Sent from my computer.

pickle

by Elizabeth Tasker

Hi, A bigger problem.... The lastest version of yt The current version of the code is: --- a519b8754ba8 (yt) tip --- has problems with pickle. If I pickle a data set and then try and unpickle it, I see: unpickle core data --------------------------------------------------------------------------- KeyError Traceback (most recent call last) /home/tasker/yt/src/yt-hg/scripts/iyt in <module>() 338 339 #file = open('cores.pickle','rb') --> 340 allcloudcores = cPickle.load(file('cores.pickle', 'rb')) 341 file.close() 342 /home/tasker/yt/src/yt-hg/yt/data_objects/data_containers.pyc in _reconstruct_object(*args, **kwargs) 3676 else: new_args.append(arg) 3677 pfs = ParameterFileStore() -> 3678 pf = pfs.get_pf_hash(pfid) 3679 cls = getattr(pf.h, dtype) 3680 obj = cls(*new_args) /home/tasker/yt/src/yt-hg/yt/utilities/parameter_file_storage.pyc in get_pf_hash(self, hash) 106 def get_pf_hash(self, hash): 107 """ This returns a parameter file based on a hash.

The script I have works fine (pickles and all) on yt version: --- 16e8d749a806 (yt) tip --- Elizabeth

field parameters (you know I want to use them everywhere...)

by Elizabeth Tasker

Hi, Two small problems: 1. Another issue with field parameters. I can't pass them to a slice if the derived field also needs ValidateSpatial. i.e. def _EffectivePotential(field, data): center = na.array(data.get_field_parameter("disk_center")) h_vec = na.array(data.get_field_parameter("disk_vector")) omega = na.array(data.get_field_parameter("thiscore_omega")) . . blah . . add_field("EffectivePotential", function=_EffectivePotential, validators=[ValidateSpatial(1, ["x-velocity", "y-velocity", "z-velocity", "x", "y", "z"])]) p = pc.add_slice("EffectivePotential", 2, field_parameters={"disk_vector":disk_vector, "disk_center":disk_center, "thiscore_omega":core_omega[c]}) can't find its field parameters but if I change the end line of the function to: add_field("EffectivePotential", function=_EffectivePotential) everything is fine. It actually seems to work OK even without the ValidateSpatial (I have cross products in the function so pain has the potential to happen without the full data) so perhaps this isn't a problem, but I think it is a small bug? 2. For some reason, yt has decided to save all my image files in: /home/tasker/.yt/my_plugins.py_Slice_z_EffectivePotential.png This is less than intuitive. Does anyone know why and how I can stop it? Thanks! Elizabeth

Registration for yt workshop in January 2012 is open

by matthewturk＠gmail.com

If you have trouble viewing or submitting this form, you can fill it out online: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dElGU0sxcXRHNmlCZW5GOW… yt workshop 2012 registration Registration is now open for the yt workshop, to be held at the FLASH center in Chicago, from Jan 24-26, 2012. This workshop will start with basic yt usage, move on to advanced and parallel usage, and then finally address how to modify, extend and contribute to yt. For more information, see the blog post: http://blog.yt-project.org/announcing-the-2012-yt-workshop and keep an eye on http://yt-project.org/workshop2012/ for more info. We have secured housing in downtown Chicago (near the river, just off Michigan Avenue) that we are able to book double-occupancy rooms for $99/night, pre-tax. We are eagerly pursuing funding opportunities and are very optimistic about their prospects, but we are still waiting on funding for participant costs. If we are able to secure funding, it will likely cover hotel costs for most attendees as well as a number of small travel grants. We have reserved the block of rooms for four nights, starting the 23rd and including the final day of the conference, to encourage attendance at all three days. We also hope to offer a social gathering and a trip to the Adler planetarium during the workshop. This is the registration form: PLEASE FILL IT OUT EVEN IF YOU FILLED OUT THE PREVIOUS SURVEY. We have used the pre-registration form to gauge interest, secure accommodations, and request funding, and we are now looking for binding commitments. There are also several questions here that will help us in constructing a set of talks and tutorials for the first portion of the workshop. If you indicate you would like to stay in the hotel block of rooms, we will contact you with more information about securing your reservation. Organizing Committee: Matthew Turk, Britton Smith, John ZuHone (For inquiries: workshop2012(a)yt-project.org ) Name * Email address * I would like to stay in the block of rooms allocated for the workshop. These rooms are at below-market prices and will cost $99/night plus tax per room. Preference will be given to those willing to share a room; assignments and roommate information can be decided later. Yes (and I am willing to share a room) Yes (and I am unwilling to share a room) No I require funding for: Hotel funding may be contingent on sharing a room. While we are still awaiting information about funding, we are optimistic that both hotel and limited travel grants will be available. Hotel Travel What is your skill level with yt?

Installing yt without hg

by david collins

Hi there-- I'm on a system that has a pretty fierce firewall so that things like pip, wget, and mercurial can't see the outside world through any http based protocol. I got the zips from a different machine and things worked basically fine until I got to the bit where it tries to install easy_install. (error below) Has anyone had experience with such a problem, and have suggestions for getting around the need for a network connection? Thanks, d.

only_on_root

by Christine Simpson

Hi, I'm trying to run a script with parallel yt that does some non-yt io. I'm a little confused about how to use only_on_root. Here is a test script I've tried: from yt.mods import * from yt.visualization.api import PlotCollection import matplotlib.colorbar as cb path = "/scratch/01112/tg803911/halo88_therm_feed_3.7e-6_LW_RadiationShield_lmax12/DD0010/" fn = "output_0010" pf = load(path+fn) pc = PlotCollection(pf) pc.add_projection("Density",0) pc.set_width(20,'kpc') pc.save(fn) filename = 'hello_world' file = only_on_root(open(filename,'w')) only_on_root(file.write("hello_world \n")) only_on_root(file.close()) Pasted below is the error. I'm uncertain about the syntax of only_on_root. Do I just wrap it around normal commands? Also, it seems that the write command is trying to execute on all the processors. That shouldn't be happening, right?

YT on NASA Pleiades

I am getting a failure in the "load" statement when trying to run YT on NASA Pleiades. It seems that it is having problems with the numpy package.

rendering with streamlines

by Bo Zhao

Dear all, I'm new to yt. Got a very basic question here: If I want to render a volume image(say "density"), along with some magnetic or velocity streamlines. Is there a way to plot both together? Thanks a lot beforehand! Sincerely Bo Zhao ======================

re-calculate function

by Elizabeth Tasker

Hi, Simpler question (I think!) Can I force yt to re-calculate a derived field? I'd like to call dd["Radius"] muliple times, but changing the position of the center field parameter in the same script. Currently, yt knows it's already calculated dd["Radius"] once and doesn't repeat it, even though "center" has changed. Ideally, I'd like to clear just that field, so yt doesn't go and recalculate any other fields. Elizabeth
