Porting .ply files to Blender with colors?
by Jill P. Naiman Aug. 15, 2022

Aug. 15, 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.

convert arbitrary particle based quantities to cloud-in-cell mesh
by Brendan Griffen Aug. 19, 2015

Aug. 19, 2015

Hi, I'm looking to convert particle based quantities into a uniform grid based quantity (arepo data is input). So say I have a collection of gas elements with some density rho and x,y,z positions. I want to construct an 256^3 mesh representing the cells in a mesh. x,y,z,rho --> cic mesh where the values at i,j,k is the smoothed density are created by the cic algorithm Now, generalising this more, can I have rho to be any quantity? So now say I have star particles which similarly have x,y,z but I want to distribute their luminosity. Again, I want to do it for say the gas velocity field as well. Is there any general functionality for converting particle quantities to mesh quantites in yt with the deposit all_cic functionality? I have a basic code for just x,y,z particle data and distributing that based on density to a cic (see below) ad = pf.all_data() level = int(math.log(ndim,2)) cg = pf.covering_grid(level=level, left_edge=[0,0,0],dims=[ndim,ndim,ndim]) arr = cg['deposit', 'all_cic'], but I'm not sure what to do for the other variables. Any help is appreciated in advance. Thanks. Brendan

Shock Finding
by Yuan Li July 9, 2015

July 9, 2015

Dear all, I am trying to figure out a way to mask out cells that contain shocks. One way I can think of is to create a derived field by identifying shocks. It seems that there are different ways of finding shocks: Enzo has a refinement criterion (refine by shocks) and there is also shock finding written by Sam. Has anybody tried to find shocks using yt? I would appreciate it if you would like to share your code/experience/advice. Thank you! Yuan

Plot window question
by David Collins June 26, 2015

June 26, 2015

Hi, Everybody-- I'm looking to find a way to change the units on the x- and y-axes for a projection. Is it possible to do that directly on the plot window or projection object? Or, is it possible to make an arbitrary unit conversion once a dataset has been loaded? Thanks! d. -- -- Sent from a computer.

Using multiple colormaps in projection_plot
by Gabriel Goodwin June 25, 2015

June 25, 2015

Hi All, I have a question regarding projection plot colormaps that maybe someone can answer. I plot temperature data for combustion simulations, with temperature in the flame ranging from 3200K - 5500K and temperature outside of the flame ranging from 300K to 1000K. I want to generate projection plots using two different colormaps, one for the flame and one for outside of it. I have been using kamae_r for the whole range 300 – 5500, but I lose resolution in both the flame and unburned gas regions because of the large range of my colorscale. Since none of my computational cells have a temperature in the intermediate region, 1000 – 3200, I want to make plots with two separate colormaps, or one colormap that combines two fully resolved colormaps for those temperature intervals, to show my data more clearly. I have been playing around with making a custom colormap by working directly with matplotlib (using the LinearSegmentedColormap function), but it is very difficult to get the resolution correct when setting the color intervals and interpolation by hand. Any advice is appreciated!

potential memory leak when using snapshot
by Wolfgang Kastaun June 23, 2015

June 23, 2015

Hi, I've been trying to make a movie from volume renderings with Yt. The data is available as uniform numpy arrays, which are loaded using non-Yt infrastructure. For each movie frame, the following is done: Create Yt data from 3D numpy array rho dct = {"density":rho} ytdat = yt.load_uniform_grid(dct, sh, bbox=bbox) Create camera cam = ytdat.camera(c, L, W, N, self.transf, fields['density'], north_vector=[0,0,1], steady_north=True, sub_samples=5, log_fields=[True]) cam.transfer_function.map_to_colormap(self.lgmin,self.lgmax, scale=15.0, colormap='algae') Save movie frame as png: cam.snapshot(fn=name) Even with medium sized datasets (60^3), this runs out of memory after 30 frames or so. Some observations: Doing the same thing, but without the cam.snapshot(fn=name), the memory leak is gone. Creating the camera just once from the first dataset, and use cam.snapshot every frame does *not* increase memory usage. Of course, it then renders the same data over and over. Maybe I am doing something wrong. For example, is there a way to just replace the dataset for an existing camera? Any hints ? Best Regards, Wolfgang Kastaun.
