Porting .ply files to Blender with colors?
by Jill P. Naiman 15 Aug '22

15 Aug '22

Hi All, I was curious if anyone has had any luck porting .ply files generated with yt into Blender with colors? It seems to port in the surfaces just fine, but they are a uniform color. From what I can gather, Blender imports .ply files with face color instead of vertex so I tried the surf.export_ply routine with "face" instead of "vertex" for sample_type, but no luck ("vertex" doesn't work either). Let me know if I can provide any more useful info. Thanks for any help, -J

Variance in phase/profiles
by david collins 11 Apr '20

11 Apr '20

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.

Notebook server question
by Andrew Myers 19 Apr '14

19 Apr '14

Hello yt users, I have a (perhaps naive) ssh question related to the yt notebook. I would like to run a yt notebook server on machine A. However, machine A cannot be directly accessed via ssh from the wider internet. Instead, I must first ssh into machine B, and then ssh from B to A. Machine B cannot run the notebook server itself. Does anyone know how I can configure things - perhaps by using a more complicated ssh tunnel command - so I that access a notebook server running on machine A through machine B? Thanks, Andrew

Light Cone Projection

Hi all, I downloaded the example script of light cone projectoin( http://yt-project.org/doc/cookbook/cosmological_analysis.html#light-cone-pr…) to my laptop and changed the Enzo simulation parameter file and redshifts. But when I ran it the following error occurred: File "light_cone_projection.py", line 19, in <module> find_outputs=False) File "/Users/madcpf/Documents/dev_yt/src/yt-hg/yt/analysis_modules/cosmological_observation/light_cone/light_cone.py", line 158, in __init__ find_outputs=find_outputs) File "/Users/madcpf/Documents/dev_yt/src/yt-hg/yt/analysis_modules/cosmological_observation/cosmology_splice.py", line 44, in __init__ find_outputs=find_outputs) File "/Users/madcpf/Documents/dev_yt/src/yt-hg/yt/convenience.py", line 131, in simulation find_outputs=find_outputs) File "/Users/madcpf/Documents/dev_yt/src/yt-hg/yt/frontends/enzo/simulation_handling.py", line 81, in __init__ find_outputs=find_outputs) File "/Users/madcpf/Documents/dev_yt/src/yt-hg/yt/data_objects/time_series.py", line 343, in __init__ self._parse_parameter_file() File "/Users/madcpf/Documents/dev_yt/src/yt-hg/yt/frontends/enzo/simulation_handling.py", line 273, in _parse_parameter_file param, vals = (i.strip() for i in line.split("=")) ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack Does the parameters "near_redshift" and "far_redshift" in LightCone need to be the same with "CosmologyFinalRedshift" and "CosmologyInitialRedshift" in enzo parameter file? Does anyone know how to solve this? Thank you all! Pengfei

Running Rockstar Halo Finder to create a merger tree
by Hilary Egan 18 Dec '13

18 Dec '13

Hi all, I'm quite confused on a number of points related to running the rockstar halo finder, so I hope its alright that I put all these questions into this one email! 1. I can't seem to run the rockstar halo finder at all without getting this error followed by a segmentation fault and crash. [Warning] Network IO Failure (PID XXXXXX): Connection reset by peer [Network] Packet receive retry count at: 1 It sort of seems like this issue ( http://lists.spacepope.org/htdig.cgi/yt-dev-spacepope.org/2012-November/002…) but I couldn't really figure out what the resolution was from the thread. Im attempting to run this on kraken and it doesn't matter if I use a single compute node or multiple, I get the same error. (I hope this isn't the infiniband issue the docs warned about, I couldn't figure out if that is how kraken is connected and I got an error that the suggested flag doesn't exist so I didn't press the issue.) 2. Whenever I finally do get the halo finder to work, I need the results to be in a form that the merger tree can use. It seems as though the MergerTree needs the results in the same form as the other halo finders give, so would getting the halo list and then dumping it as usual be the appropriate strategy? Ie: rh.run() halo_list = rh.halo_list() halo_list.dump('MergerHalos') 2.5. The docs sort of give mixed messages on whether or not I could just be calling MergerTree with the argument halo_finder_function = RockstarHaloFinder. At this point I've pretty thoroughly convinced myself that I can't, but it would be nice if that was clarified. (Just a thoroughly overwhelmed new user's perspective!) 3. I'm a little confused as to whether or not I have to use a TimeSeriesData object rather than the usual single time output when instantiating the halo finder. Under "Rockstar Halo Finding" it uses TimeSeriesData, unlike the rest of the examples, but under the subheading "Output Analysis" it just uses pf. The "Output Analysis" example also doesn't call the run() method, which leads me to believe something else entirely is going on, but its not quite clear. Thanks! -Hilary

sliceplot and frb problems
by Kathy Eastwood 06 Dec '13

06 Dec '13

Dear (very helpful) yt folk: I have been struggling with trying to make a slice plot of some FLASH data that is an odd size; the volume is 1 kpc square in x and y, and 40 kpc tall in z. The grid sizes vary widely, as expected. I have two questions: one, I would like to understand the odd behavior that I get with regular SlicePLots, and I would like some help using the FixedResolutionBuffer, which I *suspect* is the way I want to go, but I have not been able to make it work. I am using the newest version of yt (upgraded this morning!) on Mac OS 10.7.5. The SlicePlot weirdnesses: from yt.mods import * %matplotlib inline import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import matplotlib.image as mpimg import matplotlib.colorbar as cb import numpy as np pf = load("Strat_Box_hdf5_plt_cnt_0064") #First try a 20 kpc tall box slc = SlicePlot(pf, 'x', 'Density',center='c',width=((1,"kpc"),(20.0,"kpc"))) slc.annotate_title('This is a Density plot') slc.save('test_20kpc.png') slc.show() #Please see plot at http://i.imgur.com/N65CNfU.png #Now try a 5 kpc tall plot slc = SlicePlot(pf, 'x', 'Density',center='c',width=((1,"kpc"),(5.0,"kpc"))) slc.annotate_title('This is a Density plot') slc.save('test_5kpc.png') slc.show() #Please see plot at http://i.imgur.com/L1YORNK.png ; note that it seems to filling #a different part of the plotting "window" #Now try a 2 kpc tall plot slc = SlicePlot(pf, 'x', 'Density',center='c',width=((1,"kpc"),(2.0,"kpc"))) slc.annotate_title('This is a Density plot') slc.save('test_2kpc.png') slc.show() #Please see plot at http://i.imgur.com/Bq1WaIP.png ; note that it seems to filling #even MORE of the plotting "window", but that the density labels were cut off a bit. OK, now the part that doesn't work. After reading, I decided that an frb must be the way to go, so I tried frb = FixedResolutionBuffer(slc, (0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0), (1024,1024)) plt.imshow(frb['Density']) plt.savefig('test_figure.png') and I get the following error. Note: I also tried slc.to_frb and that didn't work either. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last)<ipython-input-17-e68719d58ae4> in <module>()----> 1 frb = FixedResolutionBuffer(slc, (0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0), (1024,1024)) 2 plt.imshow(frb['Density']) 3 plt.savefig('test_figure.png') 4 5 /Users/kde/yt-x86_64/src/yt-hg/yt/visualization/fixed_resolution.pyc in __init__(self, data_source, bounds, buff_size, antialias, periodic) 89 self.antialias = antialias 90 self.data = {}---> 91 self.axis = data_source.axis 92 self.periodic = periodic 93 AttributeError: 'SlicePlot' object has no attribute 'axis' THanks in advance for any help. cheers kathy -- Kathy DeGioia Eastwood, Ph.D. Professor of Physics and Astronomy Northern Arizona University Flagstaff, AZ 86011-6010 Ph: 928-523-7159 FX: 928-523-1371 Kathy.Eastwood(a)nau.edu deliveries: 602 S.

empty plot issue
by Kathy Eastwood 05 Dec '13

05 Dec '13

Hi, helpful folks. Another issue I have been struggling with, which is similar to this thread http://lists.spacepope.org/pipermail/yt-users-spacepope.org/2013-May/003652… I am working on some FLASH data with the current version of yt using MacOS 10.7.5. Using this exact same data set, I managed to create some nice phaseplots using spheres centered on the densest spot. However, I now want to make some plots for a much larger volume of scientific interest... Here is the code from yt.mods import * %matplotlib inline import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np pf = load("Strat_Box_hdf5_plt_cnt_0064") pc = PlotCollection(pf, [0.5, 0.5, 0.5]) plane = pf.h.region([0.5,0.5,0.5],[0.0,0.0,0.4],[1.0,1.0,0.6]) pc.save("plane_cnt_0064") I then get the following error ValueError: Data has no positive values, and therefore can not be log-scaled Following the advice in the thread listed above, John Wise suggested "For your "empty" plot, do you have any gas with densities between 1e-26 and 1e-27 g/cm^3 in this sphere? If there's no gas in this range, then CellVolume will be zero and will give you that error message when it tries to take the log of CellVolume. If you want to manually inspect the CellVolume field, you can print out the following variable pc.plots[-1].data['CellVolume'] which will give you the CellVolume as a function of the x-variable for the last plot you have added to your PlotCollection." The writer did not respond in the next thread, so I'm not sure if this worked. But when I try it, I get the following: KeyError Traceback (most recent call last)<ipython-input-18-71f93f9e2cb6> in <module>()----> 1 pc.plots[-1].data["CellVolume"] /Users/kde/yt-x86_64/src/yt-hg/yt/data_objects/profiles.pyc in __getitem__(self, key) 160 # This raises a KeyError if it doesn't exist 161 # This is because we explicitly want to add all fields--> 162 return self.field_data[key] 163 164 def __setitem__(self, key, value): KeyError: 'CellVolume' Even though CellVolume is explicitly listed in my list of derived fields... Also, I did try the same command for Density rather than CellVolume, and the numbers were in the e-24 g cm-3 range...in fact, all the numbers were exactly the same. So I don't know if I've screwed up my data container somehow, or if the density values really are too low? any ideas? thanks SO much kathy -- Kathy DeGioia Eastwood, Ph.D. Professor of Physics and Astronomy Northern Arizona University Flagstaff, AZ 86011-6010 Ph: 928-523-7159 FX: 928-523-1371 Kathy.Eastwood(a)nau.edu deliveries: 602 S.

getting the average density inside a data container
by k.grisdale＠surrey.ac.uk 03 Dec '13

Hi yt Users I am trying to create a data container that is a cube from which I can extract the average density of the gas inside the cube. I am using Ramses data. When I create a data container using: p6 = load("output_00006/info_00006.txt", fields = ["Density","x-velocity", "y-velocity", "z-velocity", "Pressure"]) cen = [0, 0, 0] box = p6.h.region(cen, 0.2/p6['cm'], 0.3/p6['cm’]) print box["Density”] I get this error: TypeError: 'float' object has no attribute ‘__getitem__' I have tried creating a sphere as a data container and this works for the Density, but then when I try to take the AverageDensity in the sphere: sphere = p6.h.sphere(cen, 0.7/p6['cm’]) print sphere['AveragedDensity’] I get this error: enerationInProgress Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-28-574d78c4fb5c> in <module>() ----> 1 print sphere['AveragedDensity'] /Applications/Code/yt/yt-x86_64/src/yt-hg/yt/data_objects/data_containers.pyc in __getitem__(self, key) 187 return self.field_data[f] 188 else: --> 189 self.get_data(f) 190 # Note that this is less succinct so that we can account for the case 191 # when there are, for example, no elements in the object. /Applications/Code/yt/yt-x86_64/src/yt-hg/yt/data_objects/data_containers.pyc in get_data(self, fields) 514 return 515 elif self._locked == True: --> 516 raise GenerationInProgress(fields) 517 # At this point, we want to figure out *all* our dependencies. 518 fields_to_get = self._identify_dependencies(fields_to_get) Any idea what I am doing wrong or if there is another way to go about this? Thanks Kearn

yt-3.0 now a part of yt repository
by Britton Smith 02 Dec '13

02 Dec '13

Hi all, After some discussion on the dev mailing list, we've decided to unify the repositories for yt-3.0 and yt. It will still be located in a branch called yt-3.0 in that repository. At some point in the near future the separate yt-3.0 repository will become read-only. This simply means that if you are using yt normally, from the repository here: http://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt you will be able to switch to the yt-3.0 branch more easily. And, if you currently have a fork of the repository yt-3.0, you'll need to switch to using a fork of the main yt repository. This is easy, just fork the main yt repo (unless you already have!) and push your yt-3.0 changes there. Just as it has always been, installing the "stable" and "development" versions from the install script will still only put you on the latest stable and development versions of yt-2.x. Additionally, doing "yt update" will not accidentally switch you from one version to the other. Happy Thanksgiving! Britton and the yt development team
