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

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

User-defined field doesn't plot numbers

by Clayton Strawn

Hello, I'm trying to define a new metal field and compare to the old, but the new field doesn't have any numbers on the colorbar! Changing units and setting minorticks "on" didn't help with this. [image: Inline image 1][image: Inline image 2] import yt filename = "/Users/file_name_vela_sim.d" ds = yt.load(filename) def _SN_metal_dens(field, data): return data[('gas','metal_ia_density')]+ data[('gas','metal_ii_density')] yt.add_field(("gas", "sn_metal_density"), function=_SN_metal_dens, units="g/cm**3") p1 = yt.ProjectionPlot(ds,0,("gas", "sn_metal_density"), width = (1, "Mpc")) p2 = yt.ProjectionPlot(ds,0,("gas", "metal_density"), width = (1, "Mpc")) p1.set_cbar_minorticks(("gas", "sn_metal_density"),"on") p2.set_cbar_minorticks(("gas", "metal_density"),"on") p1.set_unit(("gas", "sn_metal_density"), 'g/cm**2') p1.save() p2.save() How do I get a normal colorbar plot with numbers with a user-defined field? -- Physics Department UC Santa Cruz 1156 HIGH STREET, SANTA CRUZ, CA 95064 916-749-2940

Binaries for yt 3.4.0 are available via pip and conda. If you installed via the install script or use conda to manage your python installation, you can update yt via: $ conda update -c conda-forge yt And via pip if you manage your python installation with pip: $ pip install -U yt As always, if you have any questions, concerns, or run into any trouble updating please don’t hesitate to send a message to the mailing list or stop by our Slack or IRC channel. yt is the product of a large community of developers and users and we are extraordinarily grateful for and proud of their contributions. Please forward this announcement on to any interested parties. Best, The yt development team <https://hackmd.io/EYMxGNgEwRgDgLQFYAsBDKCUAYDswE0QAmATgVLm3AFNcliYRgBmIA==#…>Major Changes and New Features - yt now supports displaying plots using the interactive matplotlib backends. To enable this functionality call yt.toggle_interactivity(). This is currently supported at an experimental level, please let us know if you come across issues using it. See Bitbucket PR 2294 <https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/pull-requests/2294>. - The yt configuration file should now be located in a location following the XDG_CONFIG convention (usually ~/.config/yt/ytrc) rather than the old default location (usually ~/.yt/config). You can use yt config migrate at the bash command line to migrate your configuration file to the new location. See Bitbucket PR 2343 <https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/pull-requests/2343>. - Added yt.LinePlot, a new plotting class for creating 1D plots along lines through a dataset. See Github PR 1509 <https://github.com/yt-project/yt/pull/1509> and Github PR 1440 <https://github.com/yt-project/yt/pull/1440>. - Added yt.define_unit to easily define new units in yt’s unit system. See Bitbucket PR 2485 <https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/pull-requests/2485>. - Added yt.plot_2d, a wrapper around SlicePlot for plotting 2D datasets. See Github PR 1476 <https://github.com/yt-project/yt/pull/1476>. - We have restored support for boolean data objects. Boolean objects are data objects that are defined in terms of boolean operations on other data objects. See Bitbucket PR 2257 <https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/pull-requests/2257>. - Datasets now have a fields attribute that allows access to fields via a python object. For example, instead of using a tuple field name like ('gas', 'density'), one can now use ds.fields.gas.density. See Bitbucket PR 2459 <https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/pull-requests/2459>. - It is now possible to create a wider variety of data objects via ds.r, including rays, fixed resolution rays, points, and images. See Github PR 1518 <https://github.com/yt-project/yt/pull/1518> and Github PR 1393 <https://github.com/yt-project/yt/pull/1393>. - add_field and ds.add_field must now be called with a sampling_type keyword argument. Possible values are currently cell and particle. We have also deprecated the particle_type keyword argument in favor of sampling_type='cell'. For now a 'cell' sampling_type is assumed if sampling_type is not specified but in the future sampling_type will always need to be specified. - Added support for the Athena++ code. See Bitbucket PR 2149 <https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/pull-requests/2149>. - Added support for the Enzo-p code. See Github PR 1447 <https://github.com/yt-project/yt/pull/1447>, Github PR 1443 <https://github.com/yt-project/yt/pull/1443> and Github PR 1439 <https://github.com/yt-project/yt/pull/1439>. - Added support for the AMReX code.

See Bitbucket PR 2376 <https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/pull-requests/2376>. - Added support for reading face-centered and vertex-centered fields for block AMR codes. See Bitbucket PR 2575 <https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/pull-requests/2575>. - Added support for loading outputs from the Amiga Halo Finder. See Github PR 1477 <https://github.com/yt-project/yt/pull/1477>. - Added support for particle fields for Boxlib data. See Bitbucket PR 2510 <https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/pull-requests/2510> and Bitbucket PR 2497 <https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/pull-requests/2497>. - Added support for custom RAMSES particle fields. See Github PR 1470 <https://github.com/yt-project/yt/pull/1470>. - Added support for RAMSES-RT data. See Github PR 1456 <https://github.com/yt-project/yt/pull/1456> and Github PR 1449 <https://github.com/yt-project/yt/pull/1449>. - Added support for Enzo MHDCT fields. See Github PR 1438 <https://github.com/yt-project/yt/pull/1438>. - Added support for units and particle fields to the GAMER frontend.

See Bitbucket PR 2355 <https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/pull-requests/2355>. - Added the ability to detect and read double precision Gadget data. See Bitbucket PR 2537 <https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/pull-requests/2537>. - Added the ability to detect and read in big endian Gadget data. See Github PR 1353 <https://github.com/yt-project/yt/pull/1353>. - Added support for Nyx datasets that do not contain particles. See Bitbucket PR 2571 <https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/pull-requests/2571> - A number of untested and unmaintained modules have been deprecated and moved to the yt attic repository <https://github.com/yt-project/yt_attic>. This includes the functionality for calculating two point functions, the Sunrise exporter, the star analysis module, and the functionality for calculating halo mass functions. If you are interested in working on restoring the functionality in these modules, we welcome contributions. Please contact us on the mailing list or by opening an issue on GitHub if you have questions. - The particle trajectories functionality has been removed from the analysis modules API and added as a method of the DatasetSeries object.

arbitrary grid and user-defined field

by Stephanie Tonnesen

Hi yt-users! I have a simulation run on Enzo that has a best resolution cell size of ~40 pc. I would like to be able to compare my run to observations that are at a resolution of ~200 pc. I want to save a bunch of data in a fits file with that resolution. It looks like the way to do this is to create an arbitrary_grid object. If someone has a better method, please tell me! So I have my artbitrary_grid object, and I am making arrays of fields: xp = arbgridobj['x'] ...etc.... xp = np.array(xp) ...etc... my code keeps crashing when I try to get a user-defined field for my arbitrary_grid object. If I try to get the field for a cut_region my code runs just fine. Is user-defined fields + arbitrary_grid objects just something that yt can't do or is there some different way to make this happen than in a cut_region? Thanks!!

Re: [yt-users] yt-users Digest, Vol 114, Issue 2

by Wolfram Schmidt

Hi Nathan, hi Prateek, before I look into the frontend and try to modify it, I wonder: 1. Is possible to define units for a new field in the Enzo output (there are units conversion factors for certain quantities in Enzo, but I don't now if this somehow enters the data dumps)? 2. Could I "teach" yt to assume certain units for a field which it interprets as dimensionless on the fly, i.e. in a python session? If so, how?

ANN: ytree 2.0 released

by Britton Smith

Greetings, I am very proud to announce the release of version 2.0 of ytree! ytree <https://github.com/brittonsmith/ytree> is tool for working with merger-tree data from multiple sources and for generating merger-trees from Gadget FoF/SUBFIND catalogs. For a brief example of using ytree on merger-tree data, have a look at this notebook <https://github.com/brittonsmith/ytree/blob/master/doc/source/notebooks/Intr…> . This is significant update to ytree in terms of both usability and speed. Updates include: - tree building and field i/o now occur on-demand resulting in a huge speedup. - support for yt-like derived fields that can be defined with simple functions. - support for yt-like alias fields allowing for universal field naming conventions to simplify writing scripts for multiple data formats. - support for analysis fields which allow users to save the results of expensive halo analysis to fields associated with each halo. - significantly improved documentation <http://ytree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/> including a guide to adding support for new file formats. - all fields in consistent-trees and Rockstar now fully supported with units. - an optimized format for saving and reloading trees for fast field access. ytree can be installed with pip: pip install ytree or from source, by going to https://github.com/brittonsmith/ytree git clone https://github.com/brittonsmith/ytree cd ytree pip install -e . Full documentation can be found at http://ytree.readthedocs.io/. ytree is an open-source community project. Please help make it better with your contribution! Thanks! Britton

problem with units when defining difference of velocity-like fields

by Wolfram Schmidt

Dear all, I encountered a problem when defining a the fluctuation of the velocity with respect to a smoothed velocity as derived field in yt: def _fluc_velocity_x(field, data): return data["x-velocity"] - data["AveMomtX"]/data["density"] ds.add_field("fluc_velocity_x", function=_fluc_velocity_x, force_override=True) Here x-velocity and density are standard baryon fields defined in Enzo and AveMomtX is an additional baryon field for smoothed momentum. When I load a data dump and execute the above definition, I get the following error: /lrz/sys/tools/python/2.7_anaconda_nompi/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yt/units/yt_array.py in sanitize_units_add(this_object, other_object, op_string) 126 if isinstance(ret, YTArray): 127 if not inp.units.same_dimensions_as(ret.units): --> 128 raise YTUnitOperationError(op_string, inp.units, ret.units) 129 ret = ret.in_units(inp.units) 130 # If the other object is not a YTArray, the only valid case is adding YTUnitOperationError: The subtraction operator for YTArrays with units (code_velocity) and (code_length**3/code_mass) is not well defined. After looking into http://yt-project.org/doc/analyzing/units/fields_and_unit_conversion.html, I tried ds.add_field("fluc_velocity_x", units="cm/s", function=_fluc_velocity_x, force_override=True) but this results in the same error as before. Apparently, the problem is that yt does not recognize that momentum divided by density is a velocity and therefore cannot match the units to the first term (x-velocity). There are unit conversion functions such as .in_cgs(), but they are not applicable to the data objects in the above definition. So can anyone tell me how to fix this? Cheers, Wolfram
