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.

Import of crystallographic charge density data
by Matthew Horton March 29, 2017

March 29, 2017

Hello all, I’m a new user to yt looking for some general guidance. 1. I have files describing the charge density in a crystal (CHGCAR files for any DFT/VASP users on the mailing list). I can import these with yt as generic (periodic) unigrid data, however the axes are not always orthogonal… In cubic crystals, `yt.load_uniform_grid` works perfectly, but in some crystals this would give a distorted visualization. What would be the best way to import this kind of data? 2. Regarding units, the units in my file are nominally fractional electrons per grid cell volume, e/Angstrom^3 … importing into yt as a density field, what units should I use? Would be good to keep the data in its natural units, rather than converting to SI/cgs, because they’d be very very small floats otherwise. I tried 'unit_system = yt.UnitSystem('custom', 'Angstrom', 'g', 's’)' and this works as expected for the length units in my plots, but how do I set the custom Charge unit? What ‘units’ string would I then use for the density field? It doesn’t seem to want to accept ‘Angstrom’, ‘C’ etc. Many thanks for any help! Best regards, Matthew

Particle Velocity Magnitude without bulk velocity correction
by Reju Sam John March 29, 2017

March 29, 2017

Dear all, I tried the following defination of Particle Velocity Magnitude without bulk velocity correction. def _ParticleVelocityMagnitudenoBVcor(field, data): return ( data["particle_velocity_x"]**2.0 + \ data["particle_velocity_y"]**2.0 + \ data["particle_velocity_z"]**2.0 )**(1.0/2.0) add_field("ParticleVelocityMagnitudenoBVcor", function=_ParticleVelocityMagnitudenoBVcor, take_log=False, units=r"\rm{cm/s}" ) and tried to calculate the weighted average value of it with the following line vrms_dm_no_bv_cor = sphere.quantities["WeightedAverageQuantity"]("ParticleVelocityMagnitudenoBVcor", "ParticleMass") But I am getting the following error IndexError: too many indices for array What could be the reason? How can I compute Particle Velocity Magnitude without bulk velocity correction? Thanks -- Reju Sam John

phaseplot set zlim
by Stephanie Tonnesen March 28, 2017

March 28, 2017

Hi yt-users, I am trying to make some nice looking phaseplots, and want to set the mass range that I show in the figure. I use set_zlim and instead of only showing the cells that call into that mass range, it just changes the color coding. You can see the attached for what I am talking about. Is there a way to have phaseplot only show me the cells that have "cell_mass" larger that 1e36 (or whatever I happen to set)? Thanks! Stephanie -- Dr. Stephanie Tonnesen Alvin E.

miniconda installation issue
by Wolfram Schmidt March 28, 2017

March 28, 2017

Hi, I have encountered a problem when installing yt using the miniconda python distribution on a remote host. After downloading and installing various packages, the installation process gets stuck here (see also attached log file): EXECUTING: /home/h/hzfbhsws/yt-conda/bin/conda install -c conda-forge --yes yt Fetching package metadata ........... Solving package specifications: . CondaError: CondaHTTPError: HTTP None None for url <https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge/linux-64/conda-env-2.6.0-0.tar.bz2> Elapsed: None Indeed when I try wget https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge/linux-64/conda-env-2.6.0-0.tar.bz2 on the host on which I have been running the installation, the following error message is thrown: Connecting to s3.amazonaws.com|54.231.40.130|:443... failed: No route to host. On the local host (i.e. my PC), there is no problem with downloading the conda-env package with wget: Saving to: ‘conda-env-2.6.0-0.tar.bz2’ conda-env-2.6.0-0.tar.bz2 100%[===================================================================>] 1017 --.-KB/s in 0s 2017-03-28 12:18:08 (37,9 MB/s) - ‘conda-env-2.6.0-0.tar.bz2’ saved [1017/1017] Maybe the problem is related to port 443 on the host on which I want to install yt. In any case, how can I circumvent this? I can put the required package into the yt-conda/pkgs directory, but I haven't figured out how to tell the installation script to use the existing file rather than attempting to download it.

Stacked temperature profiles
by Thor Andreas Seiff Ellewsen March 17, 2017

March 17, 2017

Hi everyone. I'm currently working on making temperature and density profiles from some ramses simulations. I'd like to make these profiles the average radial profile of the halos in the simulation. I think the included rockstar in yt supports this in some form, but my halo catalog is made using AHF and then imported from an ascii file. To do this I need help with two things: The first one is how to scale the radius of each profile to the corresponding virial radius. The other is how to actually average all these profiles. Is this something that can be done? I will be trying to compare the resulting profile with the same for different simulations in the end, but I don't expect to have any big problems with that. The code I'm currently using for this can be found at http://paste.yt-project.org/show/7058/ Best, Andreas Ellewsen

Yes, using a conda environment should work. It's up to you how you want to manage your install.

Re: [yt-users] cutting plane not working or changed
by Slavin, Jonathan March 15, 2017

Hi Nathan, I think this may have to do with pixelization_routines.pyx. I noticed that the version I have (i.e. 3.3.5) differs significantly from that under the main yt branch on bitbucket, which seems more recent. (Is that the development branch?) In particular the 3.3.5 version is lacking "NOTE ON ROWS AND COLUMNS" in pixelize_off_axis_cartesian and associates the width with rows and height with columns: px_dx = width / (<np.float64_t> rows) px_dy = height / (<np.float64_t> cols) In the newer version the argument list is different and instead there is px_dx = width / (<np.float64_t> buff.shape[1]) px_dy = height / (<np.float64_t> buff.shape[0]) where, I believe buff corresponds to the argument to resolution, so resolution should be (h,w) which seems to contrast with the situation in the stable branch version.
