Porting .ply files to Blender with colors?
by Jill P. Naiman 14 Aug '22

14 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 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.

Generic UniGrid Data
by Junhwan Choi (최준환) 16 Jun '14

16 Jun '14

Dear yt user, I try to use Generic UnicGrid Data (256^3 gas density cube + position of particle that is subset of a huge simulation). It is preliminary work, but I still have some questions. 1. In order to set density unit as cgs, I made following script: ...... data = dict(density = (map, "g/cm**3")) #map is 256^3 density data array bbox = np.array([[0., boxsize], [0., boxsize], [0.,boxsize]]) ds = load_uniform_grid(data, data['density'][0].shape, 3.086e24, bbox=bbox, nprocs=4) ..... Then, I got the following error message: Traceback (most recent call last): File "cutout2.py", line 62, in <module> ds = load_uniform_grid(data, data['density'][0].shape, 3.086e24, bbox=bbox, nprocs=4) File "/Users/jhchoi/common/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yt-3.0dev-py2.7-macosx-10.4-x86_64.egg/yt/frontends/stream/data_structures.py", line 461, in load_uniform_grid psize = get_psize(np.array(data[key].shape), nprocs) AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'shape' Hence, I modify "data = dict(density = (map, "g/cm**3"))" --> "data = dict(density = map)" and it work. If this is the case, how can I define the density unit and show it when I make Slice/Projection? In addition, I would like to know how I can set the unit in Generic UnicGrid Data in general? The length unit can be provide to script in load_uniform_grid(... 3.086e24 ....) but I do not know how to set other units. 2. When I add particle information as follow: ..... npart = 100000 # number of particles data = dict(density = map, number_of_particles = npart, particle_position_x = posx, particle_position_y = posy, particle_position_z = posz) bbox = np.array([[0., boxsize], [0., boxsize], [0.,boxsize]]) ds = load_uniform_grid(data, data['density'][0].shape, 3.086e24, bbox=bbox, nprocs=4) ... I got the following error message: Traceback (most recent call last): File "cutout.py", line 107, in <module> ds = load_uniform_grid(data, data['density'][0].shape, 3.086e24, bbox=bbox, nprocs=4) File "/Users/jhchoi/common/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yt-3.0dev-py2.7-macosx-10.4-x86_64.egg/yt/frontends/stream/data_structures.py", line 519, in load_uniform_grid assign_particle_data(spf, pdata) File "/Users/jhchoi/common/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yt-3.0dev-py2.7-macosx-10.4-x86_64.egg/yt/frontends/stream/data_structures.py", line 371, in assign_particle_data pdata.pop("number_of_particles") KeyError: 'number_of_particles' So, I change "number_of_particles = npart," --> "number_of_particles = 100000," and it works. How could it happen? 3. Can I do halo finder (hop/fof) using the above particle data? Or, what information do I need to provide to do grouping? In this case, how can I set the units and linking length? 4. Can I make particle distribution to particle data like data['Dark_Matter_position_x']? This process will allow me additional analysis such as profile and obtaining total value. I may ask too many for new tool, but it will help a lot to use yt for general data set. Thank you, Junhwan

PerspectiveCamera question
by Michael Zingale 04 Jun '14

04 Jun '14

I'd like to try using the PerspectiveCamera instead of the normal orthographic Camera. My script renders fine with Camera(), but I thought that I should be able to just change Camera() to PerspectiveCamera() and it should render with the perspective. Instead, I get an empty rendering -- is there something else one needs to do to use the PerspectiveCamera rather than just changing the class name but otherwise keeping the argument list the same?

projection of max level along line of sight?
by Brian O'Shea 30 May '14

30 May '14

Hi folks, I'm trying to make a projection of an Enzo dataset using yt-3, showing the maximum level along the line of sight. This command: ProjectionPlot(pf,"x","grid_level",weight_field=None,data_source=reg,width=(0.25,'unitary')).save() definitely seems to make projections of grid levels, but I'm not convinced that it is the maximum level along the LOS. Is there a better way to do this? Thanks! --Brian

Plot Background

Is there a way to set the background color for projection plots? I'd like to set it to be black instead of white, which I assume is the default. Thanks, Andrew E. -- Graduate Student Columbia University Department of Astronomy

Re: [yt-users] Generic UniGrid Data
by John ZuHone 28 May '14

Hi Junhwan, I'm having trouble finding anything wrong with your script, actually. I would recommend changing this: ds = load_uniform_grid(data, data['density'][0].shape, 3.086e24, bbox=bbox, nprocs=4) to this: ds = load_uniform_grid(data, data['density'][0].shape, length_unit=(1.0,"Mpc"), bbox=bbox, nprocs=4) but I doubt that would make much of a difference. Have you inspected what data["density"][0] is in your script, and what npart is? I set up an example on my own with random particle data, and I set the number_of_particles dictionary key to a variable npart that was set previously, and saw no issues there. If it's possible to post the file that this script works with somewhere, that would enable me to reproduce the buggy behavior.

camera question
by Stephanie Tonnesen 24 May '14

24 May '14

Hi all, I am trying to make a nice volume rendering, and am having some trouble. My camera commands are: tf = ColorTransferFunction((-29,-24)) tf.add_layers(8,w=0.1,colormap="Hue Sat Value 2") tf.sample_colormap(-26.5,w=0.02,colormap="Hue Sat Value 2") cam = pf.h.camera([0.0,2.,1.8],[0.0,-1.0,-0.2],4.0,512,tf) cam.show() I will attach the image, also (v11). First, when I use add_layers, can I get yt to print out WHERE the layers are? Second, but related, when I just use add_layers I only see the higher density gas. I have to add sample_colormap to see lower density gas (the blue stuff). Compare v11 to v6 to see what I am talking about. Thanks! Stephanie
