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
by Elizabeth Harper-Clark Dec. 11, 2021

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

Volume rendering
by Андрей Парамонов Dec. 4, 2017

Dec. 4, 2017

Hello! I've recently discovered yt, and I found the rendering examples really encouraging. I'm now trying to visualize a large 3D dataset via volume rendering technique. I have come up with the following script that is intended to plot a part of the dataset: --- import yt from yt.config import ytcfg import h5py f = h5py.File('ims-p.hdf5') intens = f['intensity'][:256,:256,:256] print(intens.shape) ds = yt.load_uniform_grid({'Intensity': intens}, intens.shape) print(ds) sc = yt.create_scene(ds, ('Intensity'), lens_type = 'perspective') sc[0].set_log(True) sc[0].tfh.plot('transfer_function.png', profile_field = 'Intensity') sc.camera.resolution = 1024 sc.annotate_axes(alpha = 0.1) sc.annotate_domain(ds, color = [1, 1, 1, 0.1]) sc.save_annotated('vr_grids.png', sigma_clip = 4) --- I get some really fascinating rendering (attached), and now I want to tweak it. I would be really happy if you could help me with the following questions: 1) What is the best way to configure the camera viewpoint so the complete data cube fits into the view? How to quickly render the domain axes without performing the costly volume rendering (to find the "optimal" viewpoint experimentally)? 2) What is the best way to specify axes scales, so that rendered volume appears as cuboid, not cube? I want the resulting cuboid to be scaled as 3:2:2. How to specify resulting image size, e.g. how to get image of 1600x1200 pixels? 3) In my dataset, the grid is not in fact uniform, but rather X coordinates are specified by (non-decreasing) array rettime, Y coordinates are specified by (non-decreasing) array mz. What is the best way to pass this information (to load_uniform_grid)? 4) Is it possible to use inverse transfer function model, i.e. white background? 5) My complete dataset is rather large and doesn't readily fit into RAM. However it seems that for ray-tracing algorithm, it shouldn't be required that all data is available simultaneously. Is it possible to feed dataset by chunks? Your help is greatly appreciated!

Hi, Thank for answering, My question is what are you doing now in order to have fast computations, without changing any YT code. Is there something That can be solved by change in the YT configurations? (Do I understand from your answer that no?) How are you handling many group members using the same files together? Do you use SSD drives? Do you copy each snapshot to the node and then compute? Do you do some of what I asked about? Do you have any other special tricks?

Hi Nathan, Thank you for answering, 1. Does it take hours to load these files on a laptop? # Ans: Nope, It take 10 sec. # It takes us lots of time on the cluster when we parallel the jobs, above 20 yt.load calls toghter. # We toke a look at our GPFS, it looks like there are many IOP that flood the GPFS, (it is currently a serial reading at our GPFS) 2. What sort of data are you working with? How big are the data files? # Ans: We are working on Vela sims, it's ART simulations, 5GB per snapshot ruffly. 3. When you say ?load? the data, is that just doing yt.load or are you doing any I/O? # Ans: load=yt.load and then creating a sphere obj and reading gas particles from it.

Fwd: Cluster best configurations for YT
by Tomer Nussbaum Nov. 28, 2017

Nov. 28, 2017

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Tomer Nussbaum <tomer.nussbaum(a)mail.huji.ac.il> Date: Thu, Nov 23, 2017 at 6:08 PM Subject: Cluster best configurations for YT To: yt-users(a)lists.spacepope.org Hi, We have updated our cluster lately, but our YT platform works very slow (loads one snapshot an hour, when couple of people run together...). I wanted to ask you if you can help solving this issue from your experience. We use infiniband, and we see that the main problem is lots of request in random access to our hard drives, so the problem can be in fine tuning YT on the Nodes, or fine tuning the file system This brings up this couple of issues (maybe more, if you have another idea, I would be thankful to know): 1. *IO readings - *Is there a way to optimize the io readings requests to the file server? 2. *YT configurations -* Are there specific parameters in the YT configuration for this status? 3. *File server behavior -* Can we set reading server functions (we use hard drives, serial reading status)? 4. *Metadata cache -* Does using metadata cache will solve the issue? 5. *zlib usage - *How can I check if this feature is activated, how much is it important in the YT platform? I will really appreciate any help with it, Thanx, Tomer

Hi, I just installed yt and immediately ran into the following problem. The following script #viz1.py import yt from yt.mods import * ds = yt.load("stnd_2d_out.e", step=-1) gives this error: yt : [ERROR ] 2017-11-21 09:34:33,950 Couldn't figure out output type for stnd_2d_out.e Traceback (most recent call last): File "viz1.py", line 27, in <module> ds = yt.load("stnd_2d_out.e", step=-1) File "/home/jaron/.conda/envs/py36/lib/python3.6/site-packages/yt/convenience.py", line 98, in load raise YTOutputNotIdentified(args, kwargs) yt.utilities.exceptions.YTOutputNotIdentified: Supplied ('stnd_2d_out.e',) {'step': -1}, but could not load! Please let me know how to resolve this. -Jaron
