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.

broke yt trying to update
by Stephanie Tonnesen 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

Dear all, After a pretty long (few month) hiatus, I just tried to update my yt and seem to have broken it. Now my desktop is frozen so I can't cut and paste the long outputs, but it boils down to: >yt update The current version of the code is: ___ 0be45301e0eb (yt) tip ___ This version CAN be automatically updated. .... added 1740 changesets with 3520 changes to 355 files (+1 heads) Updating the repository 126 files updates, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved BROKEN: See /u/stonnes/Installs/yt-x86_64/src/yt-hg/yt_updater.log So I looked at that and the first thing it had was: pulling from https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/ (run 'hg update' to get a working copy) So I ran hg update and then it failed and said I had no module named write_array When I start python2.7 and type >> from yt.mods import * I get the same error (no module write_array) Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks, Stephanie

Hi, Thanks. I am not even plotting using MATLAB or alike. I just want to read in the data in Fortran to look at it in some detail, so I think that my (j,i) switched way should work. Just to make sure.

yt volume render/AMRKDtree help
by Renyue Cen 25 Aug '13

25 Aug '13

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

Announcing: yt 2.5.5
by Matthew Turk 23 Aug '13

23 Aug '13

Hi all, We're proud to release yt version 2.5.5. This is an unscheduled point release that includes all bug fixes identified and fixed since the release of 2.5.4 on July 2nd. We missed our scheduled release date a bit, and have continued to push off a 2.6 as development on the 2.x branch winds down. Additions, changes and bug fixes include: * New absorption spectrum analysis module with documentation * Fix for volume rendering on the command line * map_to_colormap will no longer return out-of-bounds errors * Fixes for dds in covering grid calculations * Library searching for build process is now more reliable * Unit fix for "VorticityGrowthTimescale" field * Pyflakes stylistic fixes * Adding ability to draw lines with Grey Opacity in volume rendering * Updated physical constants to reflect 2010 CODATA data * Number density added to FLASH * Dependency updates (including IPython 1.0) * Many fixes for Athena frontend * Radius and ParticleRadius now work for reduced-dimensionality datasets * Source distributions now work again! * Better notebook support for yt plots * Athena data now 64 bits everywhere * Grids displays on plots are now shaded to reflect the level of refinement * show_colormaps() is a new function for displaying all known colormaps * PhasePlotter by default now adds a colormap. If you are using the stable branch of yt from an installation script, you can upgrade using "yt update" or "yt update --all" to upgrade your full dependency stack. If you are using the development branch, you may already have these fixes. A tarball of this release has been uploaded to the Python Package Index (PyPI). yt releases often feature contributions from many individuals; this release includes first time contributions from John Forbes, Noel Scudder and Hilary Egan. Documentation for this release can be found at: http://yt-project.org/docs/dev/ Thanks very much, Matt, on behalf of the yt development team

Colorbar on Phase Plots
by Patrick Rieser 22 Aug '13

22 Aug '13

Hi all, does anybody have an idea how to get a colorbar to show up for the zfield (weight=none) with the PhasePlotter? I am using log scaling and I'd like to have the colorbar for the zfield logarithmic as well. I used the PhasePlotter as described at the following page: http://yt-project.org/doc/visualizing/manual_plotting.html#phase-plots Just to be clear, what I'd like to have is something like this (just on the right side of the plot): http://matplotlib.org/examples/api/colorbar_only.html Best wishes, Patrick.

Announcing: yt 3.0 alpha 3
by Matthew Turk 22 Aug '13

22 Aug '13

Hi everyone, We're proud to announce the third ALPHA release of yt 3.0. yt has recently transitioned to a time-based release plan ( https://ytep.readthedocs.org/en/latest/YTEPs/YTEP-0008.html ) and this is the third scheduled alpha of 3.0, although we've grossly missed the estimated date of July 15. No date for a "final" release has yet been set, but there will likely be several more alphas before that time. The yt 2.5 codebase, and further updates in the 2.x series, will be supported for a considerable amount of time and you do not need to upgrade. = yt 3.0?! = yt 3.0 represents a new direction forward for yt: getting rid of all the underlying assumptions that data needs to be sectioned off into nice little grid patches. This includes supporting Octree codes natively (NMSU-ART and RAMSES), eventual support for SPH codes, and even opaque data structures where the data is extremely large (ARTIO). We're even planning support for natively handling cylindrical and spherical coordinates. More: http://blog.yt-project.org/post/WhatsUpWith30.html However, this *is* an alpha release. Not all of the existing codes have been ported to 3.0. Additionally, this release benefits from the technical and non-technical contributions from many new people. yt is developed in the context of a community of contributors, and with the push toward a new architecture, we aim to expand that community considerably. In particular, this release has considerably benefited from contributions from many new individuals. = Getting It! = To try out yt 3.0, you can now pull from the main yt repository, update to the yt-3.0 branch, and rebuild your extensions. Or, if you would like to create a new, safely sectioned off environment, simply re-run the normal "development" install script after changing the variable BRANCH to "yt-3.0". If you would like to try out yt 3.0 and are having trouble, please write to the yt-users mailing list for assistance. The yt 3.0 install script may also work, which can be obtained by executing these commands: wget http://hg.yt-project.org/yt/raw/yt-3.0/doc/install_script.sh bash install_script.sh = What's New? = A demo notebook demonstrating much new functionality, and including the full release notes, can be found here: http://hub.yt-project.org/nb/88u14f The bullet-pointed release notes can be found at the end of this email, as well. The main improvements include *considerable* memory usage reduction, ARTIO spatial data indexing support, better particle support, an overhaul of the selection methods for data objects, and a mechanism for on-the-fly definitions of particle types based on boolean filters. Additionally, this release was used in the production of the AGORA project flagship paper. The analysis script used there can be seen at this short URL: http://goo.gl/SwY9Uv and the paper can be found here: http://arxiv.org/abs/1308.2669 = Reporting Problems = If you test out yt 3.0 we want to hear if it DID or DID NOT work! Feedback is crucial at this time. yt-users and yt-dev are both good forums for discussion, asking questions, and reporting problems. Lots of things have changed on the backend, but we have attempted to minimize the user-facing changes. To report a bug please go here: https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/new Note that you will not receive updates if you are not logged in when you create the bug. = What's Next? = The next alpha release (3.0a4) will be released sometime this fall, but development can be monitored either at http://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt-3.0 or in the main yt repository under the named branch "yt-3.0". We hope to focus on generalizing Octree support further, adding better non-Cartesian support, and supporting generic smoothing kernel definitions. If you'd like to participate in yt development, please stop by #yt on irc.freenode.net ( http://yt-project.org/irc.html ) or yt-dev ( http://lists.spacepope.org/listinfo.cgi/yt-dev-spacepope.org ), or submit a pull request on BitBucket. Thanks very much, Matt, on behalf of the yt development team Changelog: (Including 434 changesets from 7 contributors since 3.0a2) * Fixes for volume rendering and porting of the Cython kD-tree. VR now works for octree codes, albeit slowly. * Major reorganization and simplification of selector code, including generic periodicity * ARTIO now has spatial data support * Major bug fix for FLASH IO. FLASH works again, following a regression in 3.0a2. * Merged with mainline yt development, bringing developments from yt 2.5.3 and 2.5.4 into 3.0. * OWLS (Gadget-HDF5) data now updated to match functionality of other Gadget datasets. * Creationg of "arbitrary_grid" data selector for flexible particle deposition operations. This enables creation of a grid of arbitrary dimensions that can have particles smoothed or deposited within them. * Conversion of all CIC operations to particle deposition operations. This results in much more flexible particle type selection and speed improvements. * Refactoring of particle fields to enable simpler creation and collection of particle fields. Particle fields defined for Eulerian codes and Lagrangian codes are now interchangeable. * New, currently unused parallel ring iteration. To be explored in the future for smoothing kernels. * Many improvements for NMSU-ART * Fixed a crazy QuadTree deposition bug for projections that showed up when projecting octree particle deposition results through a restricted data object. * Fixed a crazy off-by-one bug for binary Gadget IO. * Enormous Octree diet. * Oct leaf nodes now cost 256 bits each, which may eventually be reduced to 192 bits. Previous versions were considerably larger. * Octree traversal is strictly recursive, enabling distributed-memory octrees to be implemented. * RAMSES octrees are created by-domain instead of globally. This will enable better parallelism in the future and faster ghost zone generation when that is implemented. * Particle octree are now constructed via Z-curve generation. This is considerably faster (10-20x) as well as much more memory conservative. This was designed to utilize parallel octree construction in the future. * Particle octrees are now indexed by coarse base-level indexing of domain regions. This enables unsorted particle files to be indexed for IO as well as spatial selection without mandating that leaf nodes are fully-contained within a single file. Reduction in total oct leaf count of ~8x for multi-file particle datasets. * YTDataContainer no longer requires .shape and .size * Only requested fields are plotted, not translated fields * Reduce memory usage of spatially-chunked fields for patch datasets * Added arbitrary particle loader, load_particles. * Units fix for RAMSES boxlen!=1.0 datasets * Particle filtering for dynamically-created particle types, similar to derived fields * Improve type consistency in TotalQuantity and other derived quantities. * Fixed major error with ghost zone generation and uninitialized values * Some resiliency for particle datasets that do not specify a domain * Bugfix for 1- and 2-D Enzo datasets * Improvements to the Tipsy frontend, including auto-detecting parameter files * Enable specification of n_ref when creating particle dataset * Enable particle deposition to back-act on particle fields * Major fix for octree particle counting, resulting in smaller meshes * Enable "source" specification for volume rendering * Enable initial volume rendering of octree datasets * Fixed error with RAMSES C/F ordering of data * Many fixes related to field dependency calculation * FLASH cylindrical & polar pixelization fix

questions on projection
by Semyeong Oh 21 Aug '13

21 Aug '13

Hi all, I'm new to yt. I have questions about making projections of certain region, and inspecting the data returned. I made a cube as follows: import pylab as pl center = [0.5, 0.5, 0.5] halfwidth = 0.005 cube = pf.h.region(center, center-pl.ones(3)*halfwidth, center+pl.ones(3)*halfwidth, ['Density']) print min(cube['x']), max(cube['x']) 0.494873046875 0.505126953125 When I print cube['x'].shape, I get (10728,). I tried to make a projection of this cube along z-axis as follows: proj2 = pf.h.proj(2, 'Density', center=center, source=cube) But I could not understand what is returned. print min(proj2['p x']), max(proj2['py']), proj2['px'].shape 0.00390625 0.99609375 (19648,) print proj2['Density'] [ 0. 0. 0. ..., 0. 0. 0.] My questions are: 1. What exactly is returned in proj2? Why does it span from 0. to 1. when I specified source=cube? 2. I also tried 'data_source=cube' instead of 'source=cube'. It did not raise any error, and returned something different: array of same shape, but with different data values. Is this keyword also used for projection object? Is there a consistent difference between the two keywords in yt? 3. I could not find documentation on some fields like 'px', 'py' that seem to be generated for certain data containers (e.g., 't' for ray objects). Is there an exhaustive list of such fields in the documentation? Thanks in advance. Semyeong
