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

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.

3-D Mass power spectra
by 梁家豪 June 3, 2019

June 3, 2019

Dear yt Can current yt calculate 3-D Mass power spectra? I checked the website but I didn't find any information. I think calculating 3-D Mass power spectra is a very useful for cosmological simulations. So I guess maybe yt supports this function now....? Thanks in advance

profile plots combining different datasets
by ｔyuta Nov. 3, 2017

Nov. 3, 2017

Dear yt-users, Hi, I want to ask you about profile plot. I'm analyzing Enzo data, and I'm trying to plot metallicity-cellmass of different 12 datasets into one curve. I can plot 12 curves on one image, but that's not what I want. Does anyone know some good way, or links to documentation? I've attached the 12-curve plot. I want to sum up all the curves to get one curve. Thanks, Y.T.[image: 埋め込み画像 2]

Integration of a field along line of sight
by tazkera haque Oct. 31, 2017

Oct. 31, 2017

Dear YT people, I need to do integration of density field along line of sight. I know the ProjectionPlot function plots the integration of a field along line of sight. yt.ProjectionPlot(ds, 'z', 'density, center= 'm') However, I was wondering if it is possible to get the projection as an array (or new field) , so that I can make a ProfilePlot of the integrated field along line of sight and another field ('Mass') In other words, I want to do the following: sp = ds.sphere("max", (200, "kpc")) proj = yt.ProfilePlot(sp, 'Integrated_Density_along_Line_Of_Sight', 'Mass) Thanks Tazkera

Annotation on profileplots
by ｔyuta Oct. 30, 2017

Oct. 30, 2017

Dear yt-users, Hi, I want to annotate some lines on 1D profile plots, like on projection plots or slice plots. I looked through the yt documentation, and I found: Callbacks can be applied to plots created with SlicePlot <http://yt-project.org/doc/reference/api/yt.visualization.plot_window.html#y…> , ProjectionPlot <http://yt-project.org/doc/reference/api/yt.visualization.plot_window.html#y…> , OffAxisSlicePlot <http://yt-project.org/doc/reference/api/yt.visualization.plot_window.html#y…>, or OffAxisProjectionPlot <http://yt-project.org/doc/reference/api/yt.visualization.plot_window.html#y…> by calling one of the annotate_ methods that hang off of the plot object. on plot modification page, which means annotate_line method is not effective for profile plots (I actually tried this on profile plots, and it did not work). Is there any good way to annotate lines on 1D profile plots? Also, I want to change the fontsize of numbers and labels on the axes of profileplots. How can I do this? For example, I want to annotate vertical line on density=1e-25, and change the fontsize of "density", "10**-28", ..., "10**-21". Thanks, Y.T. [image: 埋め込み画像 1]

Plot Callbacks for OffAxis Plots
by Joseph Tomlinson Oct. 20, 2017

Oct. 20, 2017

Hey yt-users, I am trying to use OffAxis Slice and Projection plots using planes defined by two light rays in Enzo data. I have recently tried added callbacks for visualization of the clumps of gas and star particles but whenever I use annotate_clumps and annotate_particles with OffAxis plots I always get an error saying that they do not have the method. I assume that this is a consequence of how the OffAxis plots are made and there is no easy way around this but I wanted to check to make sure before I give up on OffAxis plots. If you don't understand what I mean here is a short bit of pseudo code to explain. L=[1,1,0] cut = SlicePlot(ds, L, 'Density') cut.annotate_particles((300,'kpc'), ptype=2) AttributeError: 'OffAxisSlicePlot' object has no attribute 'annotate_particles' Thanks, Joe Tomlinson

Saving and loading Arbitrary grid data
by Li,Qi Oct. 19, 2017

Oct. 19, 2017

Dear user group, I am trying to smooth particle data output from GIZMO onto an arbitrary grid, then save the object as data set and reload in order to do volume rendering. However I can not handle the reloaded data set. To clarify, I smooth yt sample data — FIRE_M12i_ref11 onto a 64**3 grid, the code is like this: 1 import yt 2 3 ytname='FIRE_M12i_ref11/snapshot_600.hdf5' 4 ds=yt.load(ytname) 5 6 # define the region 7 left = ds.domain_left_edge 8 right = ds.domain_right_edge 9 10 #now create an abitrary grid and save 11 arb = ds.arbitrary_grid(left, right,dims=[64, 64, 64]) 12 13 fn = arb.save_as_dataset(fields=[('PartType0','density')]) 14 15 arb_ds = yt.load('snapshot_600_arbitrary_grid.h5') 16 print arb_ds.field_list And it returns an error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "arbgrid_clean.py", line 16, in <module> print arb_ds.field_list ... ... File "/Users/heavyfat/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yt/frontends/ytdata/io.py", line 244, in _initialize_index pos[:,0] = _get_position_array(ptype, f, "x") ValueError: could not broadcast input array from shape (64,64,64) into shape (262144) So, how I can save/load a usable arbitrary grid dataset? Thanks and looking forward to your suggestions. Best regards, Qi

Yt training workshops

Folk, Do you plan any more training workshops/hackatons in the future? I work with a couple of students who would benefit from such, self-learning from the docs is kind of slow. Thanks, Nick Gnedin
