Porting .ply files to Blender with colors?
by Jill P. Naiman Aug. 14, 2022

Aug. 14, 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

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.

Notebook server question
by Andrew Myers April 19, 2014

April 19, 2014

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

change size of phase plot
by Stephanie Tonnesen April 15, 2014

April 15, 2014

Hi all, I am trying to make my phase plots smaller so they can fit more nicely into a paper. Alternatively, I would be fine with upping the font size so when I shrink them you can read the axes. I found advise on how to do this for slices, but not for phase_objects. pc = PlotCollection(pf) tracerp25 = alld.cut_region(["grid['specific_scalar[0]'] > 0.5", "grid['z'] < 0.192","grid['z'] > -0.192","grid['cyl_RCode'] < 1.2"]) pc.add_phase_object(tracerp25,["Density","z-velocity","CellMassSolar"],weight=None,x_bins=50,y_bins=50,y_bounds = [-4e7,8e7],x_bounds=[5e-28,5e-23],x_log=True,y_log=False) Any help is much appreciated! Thanks, Stephanie

Light Cone Projection
by Pengfei Chen March 1, 2014

March 1, 2014

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

Two Point Correlation Function in yt 3.0 with RAMSES
by David Sullivan Feb. 3, 2014

Feb. 3, 2014

Hi all, I’m trying to compute the two point halo correlation function for RAMSES data using the code found at http://yt-project.org/docs/2.6/analyzing/analysis_modules/two_point_functio… (I’ve already run HOP and written to HopAnalysis.out). I get an error saying ‘add_tree’ is not defined, but yt.utilities.kdtree is imported and build properly. Is this feature working in version 3.0? Many thanks, David P.S Sorry if this gets duplicated as I accidentally tried to send this with an unregistered e-mail

chemical species abundances discrepancy
by poetaste＠gmail.com Feb. 2, 2014

Feb. 2, 2014

Hi Guys, I did a simple test with enzo and I tried to plot a radial profile of the chemical species fractions with YT. The problem is that if I use the YT function which intrinsically plot the fraction for a species, let's say H2I_Fraction (as usual), and compare this with a direct evaluation of the mass fraction: data['H2I_Density']/data['Density'] I obtain some slightly different results, mostly at large radii. Anyone might explain this discrepancy!? This happens with all the species. Thank you in advance Stefano

More PhasePlots questions
by Stephanie Tonnesen Jan. 30, 2014

Jan. 30, 2014

Hi everyone! I have a few more PhasePlots questions. 1) I would like to force my axes to be a particular range. I am looking at several times in my simulation, and the length of the stripped tail increases, so different PhasePlots end up with different height above the disk x-axis ranges, which makes comparison more annoying. 2) I would like for the last tick label to be blank--to not print out on the figure (in the attachment, I would like for '100' to not be there). 3) On a slightly different note, I want the bin size to be bigger. The PhasePlots look very streaky, see attached. I will paste my current set of commands for making my PhasePlot. Thanks for any help! Stephanie plot = PhasePlot(tracerp25,"zkpc","zvelocity8",["CellMassMsun"],weight_field=None,fontsize=19)#,x_bounds=[3e-28,5e-23],y_bounds=[-0.7,1.2]) plot.set_log("zkpc",False) plot.set_log("zvelocity8",False) plot.set_zlim("CellMassMsun",1e4,1e9) plot.set_figure_size(3) ax = plot.plots['CellMassMsun'].axes ax.set_ylabel(r'z-velocity (10$^8$ cm/s)',fontsize=10) ax.set_xlabel(r'Height above disk (kpc)',fontsize=10) print r'z-velocity (10$^8$ cm/s)' for label in ax.xaxis.get_ticklabels(): #label.set_color('red') label.set_rotation(35) label.set_fontsize(11) for label in ax.yaxis.get_ticklabels(): label.set_fontsize(10) plot.save()

Trouble with SciPy Install
by Nathan Butcher Jan. 30, 2014

Jan. 30, 2014

Hello, I am trying to install yt with SciPy on Michigan State University's HPCC system and am running into errors that I cannot resolve by following the instructions in the install script. I have tried uncommenting each of the NUMPY_ARGS statements and had no success. I have attached the log file from my most recent installation attempt as the error message is long. My guess is that it has to do with the "recompile with -fPIC" message but I cannot figure out what that means. Can anybody explain what this error message means and how to resolve it. Thank you, Nathan Butcher
