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

Stars on volume rendering

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 12 Apr '20

12 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.

Light Cone Projection
by Pengfei Chen 02 Mar '14

02 Mar '14

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

Problems with fields
by Cameron Hummels 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

Hello fellow yt'ers: I'm having some issues with some fields that I don't think are behaving the way they should be in yt. I'm encountering a number of problems with a simple 2D enzo dataset (x and y), so I put together a notebook demonstrating my various issues. https://hub.yt-project.org/nb/727j2j To summarize the weirdness from the notebook: 1) The 'dx' field doesn't seem to be able to be displayed (i.e. when I try to slice it), whereas the 'dy' field is fine. 'dz' even exists, but it's just uniformly 0, as is expected from a 2D dataset. 2) When I try to produce a new field which is 2^GridLevel, I get weird results (ignored levels and more). 3-5) I get strange behavior when trying to make a new field combining GridLevel and 'dy', since GridLevel has twice as many indices as any of the spatial fields (in the z direction no less). This results in some odd behavior when I try to pair various subsets of GridLevel with 'dy'. Any clarification of these ideas is welcome. The docs and source haven't yet revealed what is going on here. Thanks! Cameron -- Cameron Hummels Postdoctoral Researcher Steward Observatory University of Arizona http://chummels.org

reading Gadget-HDF5 format in yt-3.0
by Brendan Griffen 28 Sep '13

28 Sep '13

Hi, I noticed in the update log of yt-3.0 you can now read Gadget HDF5 format (for OWLS project), but it is possible for Rockstar to read the exact same formats? I have some HDF5 data and I'd like to run Rockstar on it through yt if it has this capability in 3.0. Are there any examples of carrying out such a process? Thanks. Thanks. Brendan

new yt website, now with gallery!
by Britton Smith 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

Hi everyone, Today we launched a completely redesigned yt website. It's still at yt-project.org, but with a completely new look. One of the brand new features is the yt Gallery (http://yt-project.org/gallery.html). The gallery is designed to show off examples of yt in the real world and to give new users an idea of all that's possible. We have a few really nice contributions up there now, but we want many more! If you have a figure made at least in part with yt that you're particularly proud from a paper, poster, talk, press release, or just something really cool, please consider submitting it to the gallery. To add something to the gallery, simply fork the yt website repository here: https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/website Then, add your image (400 pixels wide, preferably) to the directory img/gallery, add an entry to the gallery.html file, and submit a pull request. We will also accept embedded movies from vimeo or youtube. Make sure to add a caption with a brief explanation of the figure, what functionality you used to make it, and a citation if it appears in a publication. Also, make sure to add your figure to the top of the gallery page so it's easy to see what's new. We look forward to seeing what amazing things people have done! Britton

--parallel not working for MPT?
by Semyeong Oh 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

Hi all, I want to divide ENZO simulation into certain regions, do some operation and save some files in parallel. I used parallel_objects for this. If I use openMPI and do $mpirun -np 6 python script.py --parallel it works fine. But if I use MPT(a variety of MPICH, I think) and run the exact same command, it ignores --parallel and just does things in serial. Is this expected? I'm new to parallel computation, and kind of stuck here. Thanks for your help. Best regards, Semyeong

accessing colorbar directly
by Luigi Iapichino 26 Sep '13

26 Sep '13

Dear all, I am in the process of moving most of my visualisation scripts from PlotCollection to the PlotWindow interface. One feature that now I am not able to find is the capability of customising the tick values in the colorbar of a plot. Inspired by the example script found in http://yt-project.org/docs/2.5/cookbook/simple_plots.html#accessing-and-mod… , I was thinking about interacting with a matplotlib object directly, but I am not able to find a suitable one. Could you please suggest me a workaround for this issue? Thanks in advance, Luigi -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Luigi Iapichino Universität Heidelberg, Zentrum für Astronomie Institut für Theoretische Astrophysik Philosophenweg 12, D-69120 Heidelberg, Germany Tel: +49 6221 548983, Fax: +49 6221 544221 e-mail: luigi(a)uni-heidelberg.de URL: http://www.ita.uni-heidelberg.de/~luigi/
