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.

Profile plot of a 2d projection FRB object

by Ben Thompson

Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone has had experience with producing a profile plot from a 2d projection object (FRB object). Essentially, what I am trying to do is plot the stellar surface density of a galaxy as a function of radius. This is achieved by doing the following from a disk YT object called cylinder (in which the origional simulation object is called shot) center = cylinder.get_field_parameter("center") normal = cylinder.get_field_parameter("normal") image_width = (100,"kpc") three_image_width = YTArray((image_width[0], image_width[0], image_width[0]),image_width[1]) left = center - image_width right = center + image_width region = shot.region(center, left, right) proj = yt.ProjectionPlot(cylinder.ds,"z",[("deposit","stars_density")],center=center,width=image_width,data_source=region,axes_unit="kpc") the error arrises here prof = yt.create_profile(proj,bin_fields="cylindrical_r",fields=[("deposit","stars_density")],n_bins=128,weight_field=None ) where I get the error /gpfs/home/........./profiles.pyc in create_profile(data_source, bin_fields, fields, n_bins, extrema, logs, units, weight_field, accumulation, fractional) 1304 else: 1305 raise NotImplementedError -> 1306 bin_fields = data_source._determine_fields(bin_fields) 1307 fields = data_source._determine_fields(fields) 1308 if units is not None: AttributeError: 'FixedResolutionBuffer' object has no attribute '_determine_fields' Any ideas how to get around this error? Also some other things to add as a postscript. Since how the projection works, if I provide weights=None as a keyword argument within the ProjectionPlot object, I get a surface density (g/cm^2). But also a "cylindrical_r" in cm^2 as well. I *think* the way to get around this is to do another projection where weights="ones", get the radius values out of that profile.. and then in matplotlib, useing the surface density array from the former profile, and the radius bin array from the latter... Produce a plot of the surface density as a function of radius from those two arrays (I might check by hand afterwards to see if this does the trick). This seems kinda convoluted so I am wondering if there is an easier way than this. _______________________________________________ yt-users mailing list yt-users(a)lists.spacepope.org http://lists.spacepope.org/listinfo.cgi/yt-users-spacepope.org

create and save multiple plot at the same time

by Clementel Nicola

Dear yt users, I’m trying to write a script to create different multi-grid figures with in each the slice plot of one quantity from different snapshots (e.g. density slice for the snapshot from 1 to 4, see example below). density_snapshot_1 | density_snapshot_2 ________________ |_________________ | density_snapshot_3 | density_snapshot_4 I’m able to do it looping first over the quantities and for each open the snapshots, but in they way I’m reopening the snapshots several times (i.e. the number of quantities I want to plot). I think that the smart way of doing it is to have the for loops as below. My problem is that I need to create and save the figures at the "same time" and not one after the other. I tried several option using the ‘field’ index, but I end up saving only the last ‘field’ figure. Any suggestion? Thanks, Nicola Clementel snapshots = ['./snapshot_001','./snapshot_002','./snapshot_003','./snapshot_004’] fields = [‘density’, ‘velocity’, ’temperature’] for i, snapshot in enumerate(snapshots): ds = yt.GadgetDataset(fn, unit_base=unit_base, bounding_box=bbox) # load data for j, field in enumerate(fields): p = yt.SlicePlot(ds, 'z', field, center="center", width=2) p.set_cmap(field, "gist_rainbow") # This forces the SlicePlot to redraw itself on the AxesGrid axes. # need to differentiate between figures using j index here plot = p.plots[field] plot.figure = plt.figure() plot.axes = grid[i].axes plot.cax = grid.cbar_axes[i] # Finally, this actually redraws the plot. p._setup_plots() for j, field in enumerate(fields): #need to call the different figures with j index here plt.savefig(field +’_evolution.png') _______________________________________________ yt-users mailing list yt-users(a)lists.spacepope.org http://lists.spacepope.org/listinfo.cgi/yt-users-spacepope.org

Particles in FLASH output

by Jason Galyardt

Hi all, I'm sure I've just overlooked some bit of documentation, but I'm having trouble plotting particles generated by FLASH on top of the gas density. I've been able to load a plot file with the associated particle file via ds = yt.load(plotfileName, particle_filename=partfileName) However, when I try to create a projection and annotate the particles with p = yt.ProjectionPlot(ds, "y", "density") p.annotate_particles(1.0) # ValueError! # p.annotate_particles((4.0, 'kpc')) # ValueError! I get a ValueError from h5py indicating that zero-length selections are not allowed. I have also tried passing the full width of the simulation domain to the annotation function without success. I suspect that this is a user error stemming from differences between the way that Enzo and FLASH store particle data. However, I can't find much in the way of documentation or examples for the FLASH particle data format. Of course, it would also be handy to be able to write my own analysis scripts using both gas and particles, but for now, I'll settle for any help I can get on simple plotting functionality.

Plot 2D magnetic field lines

by Dominik Derigs

Hi together, I want to use yt for plotting magnetic field lines in FLASH simulations from 2D simulations and slices from 3D simulations. An example of what it could look like can be seen here: http://aprg.mae.ufl.edu/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/tang_51.png I tried to use yt's streamline function, but this does not work for me: http://yt-project.org/doc/visualizing/streamlines.html The error shown is: ValueError: operands could not be broadcast together with shapes (9,9,2) (9,9,95) (9,9,2) The used FLASH file is attached.

Making density and velocity field

by Junhwan Choi (최준환)

Hi yt users, I have a few questions regarding to density and velocity field. I try to make the 3-dimension dark matter and baryon density and velocity fields from enzo simulation. In order to use SPH/CIC smoothing, I tried to use ('deposit', 'Dark_Matter_cic') for enzo dark matter, and it does not work. What is particletype for Dark Matter density and velocity in enzo? After making the density field, I would like to deposit the density for fixed grid cube. I knew the FixedResolutionBuffer, that does a similar thing for 2D, but I can not find 3D version of the similar object. Is there any such object (uni-grid Buffer) for 3D? Lastly, I try to use the dark matter velocity arrow with annotate_velocity(), but it looks to me that the annotation only works for gas, because it does not have any argument distinct field type. How can I plot the dark matter (or particle in general) velocity arrow in yt? Thank you in advance, Junhwan _______________________________________________ yt-users mailing list yt-users(a)lists.spacepope.org http://lists.spacepope.org/listinfo.cgi/yt-users-spacepope.org

ad: Open Astrophysics Bookshelf

by Michael Zingale

Dear yt-ers, as many of us teach and train students (or are students), I wanted to draw attention to a new project that I've been working on, the Open Astrophysics Bookshelf. Essentially it is just a github organization where open (CC-licensed) astro texts can be hosted as git repos. The idea is that many of us have our own set of notes, with varying degrees of polish, and by hosting the latex source on github, we can invite other contributors to add to the notes. This would also enable the community to crowdsource new texts of interest to our field, and free us all up from reinventing the wheel. And since everything is openly licensed, anyone can create mash-ups of the content to suit their needs. I have a project page up here where you can read some initial ideas: http://open-astrophysics-bookshelf.github.io/ I've already moved my set of notes on Computational Astrophysical Hydrodynamics there and I've contacted several of our colleagues about hosting their own course notes/texts there as well---hopefully once summer hits, we'll see some new stuff. There is an empty template for a Scientific Computing Cookbook to share tips/techniques and good practices across our field---this latter one is a case where crowdsourcing can hopefully put something nice together. Many people I've spoken to in our field have noted the need for some instructions on computing to new grad students. The way I envision things working is that a book would have a lead author (or authors) who are responsible for the overall flow, tone, etc., and as many contributing authors as want to help out, all of whom would be listed on an author page (and, of course, in the git history). Anyway, that's my ad---if contributing to community-sourced texts or opening up something you've already written for a class interests you, then I hope that you will help out. -- Michael Zingale Associate Professor Dept. of Physics & Astronomy • Stony Brook University • Stony Brook, NY 11794-3800 *phone*: 631-632-8225 *e-mail*: Michael.Zingale(a)stonybrook.edu *web*: http://www.astro.sunysb.edu/mzingale _______________________________________________ yt-users mailing list yt-users(a)lists.spacepope.org http://lists.spacepope.org/listinfo.cgi/yt-users-spacepope.org

using yt for non-spatial data

by Carolin Villforth

Hello yt-users, I saw a yt presentation at the Python Astronomy Meeting and am interested to see if yt could be used for non-spatial data. My specific problem is MCMC chains in 19 (or up to 23) dimensional parameter space in which none of the parameters are nuisance parameters. I thought yt could be used to visualize and analyze such data. I tried to load the chain as particles and managed to do so, but am having problems plotting. I pasted the code below. Has anyone used yt for non-spatial data?
