Porting .ply files to Blender with colors?
by Jill P. Naiman Aug. 14, 2022

Aug. 14, 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

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.

Problem when run yt dev in parallel on Blue Waters
by Pengfei Chen Aug. 22, 2016

Aug. 22, 2016

Hi all, I have trouble running yt in parallel on Blue Waters. I installed yt using miniconda, the version of yt is ~/miniconda/lib $yt version yt module located at: /u/sciteam/madcpf/miniconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yt-3.3.dev0-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg The current version and changeset for the code is: --- Version = 3.3-dev Changeset = 90f900be7a36+ yt Then with miniconda/bin in PATH I installed mpi4py-2.0.0. But when I tried to make the following simple output in parallel, I get: import yt yt.enable_parallelism() from yt.utilities.parallel_tools.parallel_analysis_interface import\ parallel_objects, communication_system comm = communication_system.communicators[-1] print comm.rank, comm.size 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 ... When I run a similar code but with yt-2.x also on Blue Waters, I get what I expect: 7 16 15 16 6 16 9 16 11 16 8 16 0 16 4 16 ... I'm confused about it. Could anyone give me some suggestions please? Thanks, Pengfei

Covering Grid Dimensions: multiple refinement levels
by Carla Bernhardt April 5, 2016

April 5, 2016

Dear YT Users, To better understand covering_grid (or smoothed_covering_grid), can someone explain what dimensions I should use when I have multiple levels of refinement? If I have 1 level of refinement from AMR data, the dimensions should be the same, I believe, but what if I have 2 or 3 levels of refinement? Should the fixed resolution region then have dimensions of dims*2^2 and dims*3^2 respectively? Here is one example from a tutorial <http://yt-project.org/doc/examining/low_level_inspection.html#examining-gri…> if that helps isolate my question: all_data_level_2 = ds.covering_grid(level=2, left_edge=[0,0.0,0.0], dims=ds.domain_dimensions * 2**2) Thanks in advance, Carla

gadget onto unigrid
by Desika Narayanan March 29, 2016

March 29, 2016

Hi All, Is it possible to deposit the particles from a gadget data set onto a uniform grid in yt? Or, could it be possible to trick the octree deposition into doing it by forcing no refinements, but some sort of native grid resolution? thanks, desika

Error in making light ray for a gadget dataset
by Bili Dong - Gmail March 1, 2016

March 1, 2016

Hi yt users, I'm trying to make a light ray for a gadget dataset using this script: http://paste.yt-project.org/show/6234/ But I get the following error: ``` /Users/qobilidop/repos/yt/yt/geometry/geometry_handler.py in fcoords(self) 320 c = obj.select_fcoords(self.dobj) 321 if c.shape[0] == 0: continue--> 322 ci[ind:ind+c.shape[0], :] = c 323 ind += c.shape[0] 324 return ci ValueError: could not broadcast input array from shape (81,3) into shape (40,3) ``` My yt is on the changeset d47150dfbde6. I'm wondering if I'm doing it the correct way? And how could I solve the problem? Thanks, Bili

phase plot and time series
by Mateusz Ruszkowski Feb. 28, 2016

Hi, Is there a simple way in yt to generate a "phase plot" of the gas density, with time and radius on the axes, using a time series of data files? Thanks, Mateusz
