IPython Widgets for Slice/Projection Plots
by Sam Skillman 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

Hi all, Just posting an example of how folks might like to use IPython notebook interactive widgets to explore plots in yt (you'll need to download/run locally to enjoy the fun): http://nbviewer.ipython.org/url/hub.yt-project.org/notebooks/af2da7e70e534a… I think there is interest in developing a fully-fledged widget interaction, so hopefully this can be used a bit in terms of tossing around ideas. Cheers, Sam

Code Units to CGS for PLUTO.
by Varadarajan Parthasarathy 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

Hi There, There is a PlutoGrid.convert(datatype) for converting the data sets like 'prs', 'rho' etc to CGS from code units. Have any one used it ? In case can you let me know of how you loaded the dataset ? Cheers, Varadarajan

zlim on python notebooks
by Elizabeth Tasker 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

Hi, Python notebooks seems to hate set_zlim (or rather demand an unreasonable number of arguments): p.set_zlim(1e-28, 1e-20) TypeError Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-31-664f4ddf25f0> in <module>() ----> 1 p.set_zlim(1e-28, 1e-20) /Users/buttonmoon/yt/src/yt-hg/yt/visualization/plot_container.pyc in newfunc(*args, **kwargs) 52 @wraps(f) 53 def newfunc(*args, **kwargs): ---> 54 rv = f(*args, **kwargs) 55 args[0]._plot_valid = False 56 args[0]._setup_plots() TypeError: set_zlim() takes at least 4 arguments (3 given) Elizabeth

Define a derived field of disk surface density
by Suoqing JI 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

Hi, I’m working on FLASH 3D Cartesian AMR data, and would like to define a derived field of surface density, so I can use surface density field to calculate other derived fields. My current script does give desired results (slice_y: http://i.imgur.com/XigIYJc.png slice_z: http://i.imgur.com/kA2Fmlt.png, and the disk is cut from original data). However, it’s extremely inefficient, because I cast a ray through disk height for every cells located on x-y plane surface of each AMR block. So is there any clever way to define surface density as a derived field in YT, as what the figures attached show? Or some way without defining surface density as a derived field, but I can get access to surface density values when computing other derived fields? Thanks a lot! Best wishes, -- Suoqing JI Ph.D Student Department of Physics University of California, Santa Barbara CA 93106, USA

Incorrect particle index for halo particles
by Josh Moloney 18 Mar '14

18 Mar '14

Hi all, I'm working on a script to calculate star formation rates for halos in different mass bins from Enzo simulation ouput. As part of the script, I need to access the dynamical_time values for all of the star particles associated with a given halo. The halos have been previously stored to disk, so I'm loading them with LoadHaloes and then for each halo identifying the star particles with the typical stars = halo["creation_time"] > 0 mask. When I try to get the associated dynamical times with halo["dynamical_time"][stars] I get -99999. instead of the expected values. When I perform the same operation on the entire dataset instead of an individual halo I get the correct dynamical times, so the values I want do exist. I was testing out different fields with halo[field][stars] to see if I could find any patterns, and I noticed that for all the fields that are actually saved to disk for the halos (creation_time, ParticleMassMsun, particle_positions, etc.) I get values that match those in the halo hdf5 files. However, this is not true for "particle_index", where I get incorrect values. The values do correspond to particles in the halo, but they aren't the indices of the star particles. I'm not sure, but I assume this is why I'm getting incorrect values for dynamical_time which isn't saved in the halo hdf5 files. I'm not familiar enough with the code for the halo finder to know where to start looking for the source of this problem. Does anyone with more experience have an idea? My version of yt is a copy of 2.6.1 that I updated about 3 weeks ago. Thanks. - Josh

Profile plots don't show in notebook
by Caroline Van Borm 18 Mar '14

Hi all, I'm just starting to use IPython notebooks, but I don't seem to be able to get profile plots to show. Projection plots and phase plots show up fine, though. This is the error I'm getting: NameError Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-14-72f7221a8772> in<module>() 1 p= ProfilePlot(sphere, "Radiuspc", ["NumberDensity"], weight_field="CellMassMsun") ----> 2 p.show() 3 /home/uni05/cborm/YT/yt-x86_64/src/yt-hg/yt/visualization/profile_plotter.pyc inshow(self) 274 275 """ --> 276 if "__IPYTHON__" in dir(__builtin__): 277 api_version= get_ipython_api_version() 278 if api_versionin ('0.10', '0.11'): NameError: global name '__builtin__' is not defined My yt version is ec9a5117fc08. Does anyone know what is happening here? Thanks! Cheers, Caroline
