How to address yt issues
by Nathan Goldbaum 20 Aug '13

20 Aug '13

Hi all, This past week I prepared some slides on how to deal with and report issues that may come up in daily use of yt. The slides are available here: http://ngoldbaum.net/for_agora/get_help.pdf The slides were based on a talk Cameron gave at the first yt workshop at the FLASH center in January 2012 but I went ahead and updated them to reflect current best practices. If you have a minute, please take a look. Cheers, Nathan PS: The slides for the yt-3.0 demo I gave are also available: http://ngoldbaum.net/for_agora/Agora_ytdemo.slides.html

Trouble plotting 1D scatter data from 3D Athena vtk data.
by Timothy Waters 20 Aug '13

20 Aug '13

Hi, Here is the data and simple script to make a scatter or profile plot of my simulation output, https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ibpda938ltsxl0j/2AA2FYDUH8#/ This is a spherically symmetric (cartesian [-0.5,0.5]^3, 32cells^3) hydro simulation with initial conditions density = 1.0 if radius <= 1/3; density falls off as 1/r^2 if r > 1/3; velocity is everywhere 0 The output with these ICs is WP12.0000.vtk. When I run my script the first time using iyt I get the first image with the expected ICs. Running it again gives the second image and I don't know why. I'm hoping those other points don't actually exist in my data. Maybe I am just missing something simple? The evolved data, WP12.0030.vtk, is provided as well. Running this data 'cleans the slate' so that I can then go back to see the problem with my initial conditions again. Of course, the problem shows up in this data too. Thanks in advance! Tim

Cylindrical and Polar Slicing (FLASH)
by Morgan MacLeod 20 Aug '13

20 Aug '13

Dear yt gurus, I've enjoyed using yt for a number of FLASH problems in cartesian geometry. Right now I'm just starting on a setup in FLASH 2D polar (eventually also in 3D cylindrical) geometries. These are ordered 2D polar: r, theta 3D cylindrical: r, theta, z I was intrigued when I noticed this image on the yt-blog ( http://blog.yt-project.org/post/WhatsUpWith30.html) -- which is almost exactly what I would like to do. [image: http://blog.yt-project.org/attachments/cylindrical_pixelizer.png] I have updated to yt-3.0, and tried the simplest "Sliceplot" of the data: fn = "const_rho_g_atm_hdf5_plt_cnt_0013" pf = load(fn) fig = SlicePlot(pf, 2,'dens').save("myfig.png") This reads loads the 2D polar plot file correctly, but renders the result in a cartesian sense. Does anyone have advice/recipes for how to proceed with Slices rendered "cylindrically"? I understand that this feature set is not yet fully developed but I was curious if there was a solution (or parts of a solution) floating around out there. Thanks so much, Morgan MacLeod ------------------------------------------------- Graduate Student Astronomy & Astrophysics UC Santa Cruz

Field Cuts in Off-Axis Projections
by Munier Azzam Salem 14 Aug '13

14 Aug '13

Hey guys, I've been trying to make slices of density only looking at cooler gas (i.e. with a cut in Temperature). I've found a nice way to do this for simple projections. But my strategy breaks for Off-Axis projections. Specifically, this works fine: * * *field_parameters={'field_cuts':["grid['Temperature'] < 1e6 "]})* *cold_proj = ProjectionPlot(pf,0,'Density',field_parameters=field_parameters)* * * but this does not: *cold_proj = OffAxisProjectionPlot(pf,axis,'Density',north_vector=north,* * field_parameters= field_parameters)* sensibly enough, since field_parameters is not a keyword argument for off axis projections. Is there a decent workaround for this? Or would this be simple to add into yt's functionality? I've looked briefly into the source<http://yt-project.org/doc/_modules/yt/visualization/plot_window.html#OffAxi…>and it doesn't seem obvious how to slip this in. thanks! Munier -- Munier A.

convering_grid question
by barbara ramirez 14 Aug '13

14 Aug '13

Hello Everyone! So, I have a question about how does covering grid actually works. I have a Flash simulation output of a 28*28 Mpc box containing a cluster. I am trying to simulate the spectra from a region of size (0.08 Mpc x, 0.08 Mpc y, 28 Mpc z) around the centre, (I will assume z is my line of sight) so I use this line to define the region: #The shape of my region cube = pf.h.covering_grid(level_max, left_edge=newlep, right_edge=newrep,dims=[6, 6, 128]) where level = 5 (max level of refinement for my Flash data), "newlep" is centre coordinates (Mpc) minus 0.08 Mpc and newrep is centre coordinates plus 0.08 Mpc, and then into percentage units. I put them into an array of dimensions [6,6,128] because I want 36 spectra (one for each pixel of the ccd) so I will fix an (x,y) position and write an XSPEC file for all z elements. (I need basically temperature and density of all the elements). My question is: how does covering grid makes a single field value (temperature, for example) inside the (x,y,z) position? because I am arbitrarily saying to divide the region into 6 pixel, but the data file might have many simulation pixels inside , so how are the field values calculated? is it just an average? or are just certain points taken into consideration? Thanks for any hints/tips/help! Barbara Ramirez University of Innsbruck, Austria

Re: [yt-users] problem with covering_grid for Nyx data sets (Wolfram Schmidt), yt-users Digest, Vol 66, Issue 17

Hi Nathan, thanks a lot for your suggestions! I updated yt to the current development version, which didn't fix the problem. So I tried what you suggested: On 08/06/2013 07:52 PM, yt-users-request(a)lists.spacepope.org wrote: > and then try your script again.

Now, the script actually reads in the data, but then another problem is encountered when an FFT is applied to the data: Searching grids for values 100% ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Time: 00:03:04 yt : [ERROR ] 2013-08-07 11:56:48,958 Covering problem: 16777216 cells are uncovered Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/users/wschmid2/scripts/spect_sb.py", line 72, in <module> velx_hat = na.fft.fftn( cg['xmom']/cg['density'] )/cg['xmom'].size File "/home/uni05/wschmid2/yt-i686/src/yt-hg/yt/data_objects/data_containers.py", line 332, in __getitem__ self.get_data(key) File "/home/uni05/wschmid2/yt-i686/src/yt-hg/yt/data_objects/data_containers.py", line 3776, in get_data raise KeyError(n_bad) KeyError: 16777216 The line with the fft actually used to work and it still works just fine if I use an old yt version (which, fortunately, I was able to dig out). Do you understand what is the problem here? Cheers, Wolfram
