Porting .ply files to Blender with colors?
by Jill P. Naiman Aug. 15, 2022

Aug. 15, 2022

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

Stars on volume rendering
by Elizabeth Harper-Clark Dec. 11, 2021

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 April 11, 2020

April 11, 2020

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.

yt volume render/AMRKDtree help
by Renyue Cen Aug. 25, 2013

Aug. 25, 2013

Hi, I did some simple volume rendering with the following script: volume2 = AMRKDTree(pf, fields=["Dark_Matter_Density"], no_ghost=False, tree_type="domain", le=c-0.5*WW, re=c+0.5*WW) cam = pf.h.camera(c, L, W, N, tf, volume=volume2, no_ghost=False, north_vector=L, steady_north=True) cam.snapshot(fn="%s_iso-DMdensity-%3.3d.png" % (filenameTHIS, j)) I got rather strange results in that the pictures look symmetric, which I am pretty sure can not be true. I attach the obtained plot. Note that I am using KD tree and using 32 cores. Your help at your earliest convenience is appreciated. Best, Renyue

Release of yt-2.5.1
by Matthew Turk March 30, 2013

March 30, 2013

Hi all, We're proud to release yt version 2.5.1. This is a scheduled point release that includes all bug fixes identified and fixed since the release of 2.5 on March 1. Major changes include: * The addition of a frontend for the Pluto code (Andrew Myers) * The addition of an OBJ exporter to enable transparent and multi-surface exports of surfaces to Blender and Sketchfab (Jill Naiman) There have also been a number of minor bugs fixed in this release. Some highlights: * load_uniform_grid can now decompose dims >= 1024. (#537) * Axis unit setting works correctly for unit names (#534) * ThermalEnergy is now calculated correctly for Enzo MHD simulations (#535) * Radius fields had an asymmetry in periodicity calculation (#531) * Boolean regions can now be pickled (#517) If you are using the stable branch of yt from an installation script, you can upgrade using "yt update". If you are using the development branch, you may already have these fixes. An installation-ready tarball with generated C code (i.e., no Cython) has been uploaded to the Python Package Index (PyPI). Thanks very much, Matt, on behalf of the yt development team

non-converted fields?
by David Collins March 28, 2013

March 28, 2013

Hi! Is there a way to get yt to not convert data to CGS? I'm doing some debugging, and its easier to see the code units. I had a work around for this a while ago, but there has been a bunch of code development since then. Thanks! d.

color algae
by Jun-Hwan Choi March 26, 2013

March 26, 2013

Hi yt user, I try to generate the projection plot with plot_modification from yt HUB. In example_image_script.py, I try to use color map "algae", it is not exist, becuase the algae is the yt built in color. Is ther any way, I can import the yt color map "algae"? I try to use "from yt.visualization.color_maps import raven_colormaps", nut the ravens_colormaps is not exist. I am using yt 2.4.

Fonts size in the Projection plot.
by Jun-Hwan Choi March 26, 2013

March 26, 2013

Hi yt user, I make a very simple projection plot using following script: ========== from yt.mods import * # Load the dataset. pf = load("../RunDM1/DD0134/DD0134") center = na.array([0.5,0.5,0.5,]) # Making slice slc = ProjectionPlot(pf, 2,'Density', center,(100, 'pc') , 'Density') slc.annotate_text((-45,42.5), "a)", data_coords=False) slc.save("Run1") ========== It generate plot with x, y, z labels and ticks as well text "a)" I would like to increase the font size of label, ticks, and text. I also change the color of the text. I think it is very basic operation, but I can not find the way. Can anyone help me?

Visualisation problems
by Elizabeth Tasker March 25, 2013

March 25, 2013

Hey, I have two question about visualisation options: (1) Is there a way of changing the colour of the contour, when it's used as a plot modification? I've tried: p.modify['contour']('NumberDensity', ncont=1, clim=[90,110], plot_args=dict(color='white', linewidths=3)) But no matter what I set 'color' all I get is purple! (2) When yt is used to create a grid of images via: p = pc.add_projection("Density", 2, center=na.array([x[i],y[i],16.]), figure=fig, axes=axes[0][i], use_colorbar=False) is there a way to add a space or a thicker border between the images? Currently, the images are quite dark and the border is black, so they run into each other a bit. Thanks! Elizabeth
