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
by Elizabeth Harper-Clark 11 Dec '21

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.

Flux Across Surfaces
by Melinda Soares-Furtado 31 Jul '14

31 Jul '14

I have used yt to determine the flux calculation for a region surrounding a single star with a given mass loss rate. This region is right outside the stellar radius (see attached). Comparing the flux calculation to the known mass loss rate, I see that not all of the mass is accounted for and, what's more, improved refinement of the simulation enhances this percentage, however it is still below 70%. I need to calculate the flux for a region surrounding a large group of stars, so simply increasing the refinement is really not an option. Any suggestions as to how I can use yt for my flux diagnostics in a manner that is more accurate? Best, Melinda

Unstructured grid yt support‏‏ -question
by Ariadna Murguia 31 Jul '14

31 Jul '14

Hi! I wrote a while back asking to visualize a dataset in an unstructured grid with AMR and a vtk output file. I was given a script that could do simple visualizations: http://paste.yt-project.org/show/4879/ . I tried altering it in order to visualize my data but (line 39), the number of elements in my vals array is odd, making the reshape become an error. Is there a way around it? Thank you very much Ariadna Murguia Berthier

Polar Coordinates Help
by Owen McCrossan 30 Jul '14

Hello, So I have flash code which generates data into polar coordinates and I need to graph this data in polar coordinates with yt as well, but yt is converting into cartesian coordinates. How can I fix this?

unitless values in 3.0
by Desika Narayanan 29 Jul '14

29 Jul '14

Hi All, Is there a way to drop the units for a value in yt 3.0? For example, in astropy, you can get the raw value of x (without units) by accessing x.value. Thanks, desika

yt surface triangles in mayavi?
by Michael Zingale 28 Jul '14

28 Jul '14

Has anyone tried taking the triangles output from yt's surface function and plot them using Mayavi mlab? The 3d support in matplotlib is a bit limited, so I was hoping to work in mayavi.

About using mapserver
by 吳佳鴻 25 Jul '14

25 Jul '14

Hi All, I’m new to yt’s mapserver function. I’m trying this feature with a sample FLASH data which I got from data hub on my current yt (2.6 version). However, error message came out like the following. And when I used browser to connect to http://127.0.0.1:8080/, I got nothing. Is there anything that I did it in wrong way? Any suggestion is welcome. Thank you in advance. Many thanks, Jia-Hung Wu =======Error Message============= Bottle server starting up (using RocketServer())...

problem writing fits image

Dear yt users, I was trying to generate a FITS file from one of my simulations but I obtained an error I do not understand and do not know how to solve. I followed the procedure in: http://yt-project.org/docs/dev-3.0/visualizing/writing_fits_images.html and in the moment I call fib = FITSImageBuffer(cvg, fields=["density"]) I obtain the error: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-87-25a548a040e2> in <module>() ----> 1 fib = FITSImageBuffer(cvg, fields=["density"]) /home/jcibanezm/codes/yt30/yt-x86_64/src/yt-hg/yt/utilities/fits_image.pyc in __init__(self, data, fields, units, center, scale, wcs) 104 mylog.info("Making a FITS image of field %s" % (key)) 105 if first: --> 106 hdu = pyfits.PrimaryHDU(np.array(img_data[key])) 107 first = False 108 else: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'PrimaryHDU' Any idea how can I solve this ? thanks in advance Juan _____________________________ Juan Camilo Ibañez Mejia PhD candidate in physics Institute für Theoretische Astrophysik Heidelberg University jibanez(a)zah.uni-heidelberg.de<mailto:jibanez@zah.uni-heidelberg.de> Research Scholar Department of Astrophysics American Museum of Natural History +1-212-313-7435 jibanezmejia(a)amnh.org<mailto:jibanezmejia@amnh.org> _____________________________
