Porting .ply files to Blender with colors?
by Jill P. Naiman 14 Aug '22

14 Aug '22

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 11 Apr '20

11 Apr '20

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 03 Jun '19

03 Jun '19

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

Digital NEST - Data Visualization Project
by Frederick Bogert 14 Oct '17

14 Oct '17

Hello Everyone, I am a volunteer at Digital NEST, a non-profit high-tech training and collaboration space for young people. We have been exploring the idea of using yt as the main focus of a course that will introduce young students to data visualization, python programming and open source software. One of our ideas is to contribute to the open issues marked "new-contributor-friendly" on the yt github. However, we were hoping to find someone who has a visualization project in mind and would want to collaborate with us. Maybe you have a data set and want visualizations produced and don't have the time to create them. We are open to discuss other projects that are more in-depth and are still focused on data visualization. You can find out more about Digital NEST here : http://digitalnest.org/about / Thanks, Alex

Plotting SFRs
by Ashley Jarvis 05 Oct '17

Hi all, I’m attempting to adapt the example script for plotting star formation rates (found at http://yt-project.org/doc/analyzing/analysis_modules/star_analysis.html#sta… <http://yt-project.org/doc/analyzing/analysis_modules/star_analysis.html#sta…>) to work with output data from a simulation run using Enzo. However, when I attempt to run the script, I get the following error: ——————————————————— File "PlotSFR.py", line 26, in <module> sfr = StarFormationRate(data, star_mass=mass_old, star_creation_time=ct_old, volume=sp.volume()) File "/usr/local/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yt/analysis_modules/star_analysis/sfr_spectrum.py", line 115, in __init__ self._ds.quan(1.0, 'Mpccm**3').units File "/usr/local/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yt/units/yt_array.py", line 1355, in __new__ dtype=dtype, bypass_validation=bypass_validation) File "/usr/local/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yt/units/yt_array.py", line 430, in __new__ units = Unit(input_units, registry=registry) File "/usr/local/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yt/units/unit_object.py", line 257, in __new__ unit_data = _get_unit_data_from_expr(unit_expr, registry.lut) File "/usr/local/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yt/units/unit_object.py", line 572, in _get_unit_data_from_expr unit_data = _get_unit_data_from_expr(unit_expr.args[0], unit_symbol_lut) File "/usr/local/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yt/units/unit_object.py", line 566, in _get_unit_data_from_expr return _lookup_unit_symbol(str(unit_expr), unit_symbol_lut) File "/usr/local/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yt/units/unit_object.py", line 657, in _lookup_unit_symbol "symbols." % symbol_str) yt.units.unit_registry.UnitParseError: Could not find unit symbol 'Mpccm' in the provided symbols. ——————————————————— I am using version 3.3.5 of yt.

Reading in arrays from Active Particles
by John Regan 22 Sep '17

22 Sep '17

Hi All, I'm hoping to modify YT to read in arrays from ActiveParticle fields. I have an array which is part of the AP data structure. At the moment YT sees the field but only reads the first element which kinda makes sense. Just wondering how I can modify the source code so that YT realised that a field is in fact an array and to read in all the values? At the moment YT is also complaining with the message: yt/yt/frontends/enzo/io.py:140: VisibleDeprecationWarning: boolean index did not match indexed array along dimension 0; dimension is 20 but corresponding boolean dimension is 1 which is because of course the field is an array of length 20 rather than a scalar. Any tips on what is required? I am looking on io.py at the _read_particle_fields function and I imagine it is this function that needs modification? Cheers, John

Parallel data reading and covering grid
by Yingchao Lu 20 Sep '17

20 Sep '17

Dear yt users, I am trying to read some AMR data and convert them into 3D array. The test code: ######################### BEGIN ######################### import yt from time import time yt.enable_parallelism() ds = yt.load("flash_hdf5_plt_cnt_0000") tstart = time() cg = ds.covering_grid(level=ds.max_level, left_edge=ds.domain_left_edge, dims=ds.domain_dimensions*2**ds.max_level) cg['dens'] if yt_isroot(): print "It takes {0}s".format(time()-tstart) ######################### END ######################### I tried to run to serial or parallel on an interactive session on stampede: ######################### BEGIN ######################### [yclu@ test]$ ls flash_hdf5_plt_cnt_0000 test.py [yclu@ test]$ python test.py It takes 34.0571820736s [yclu@ test]$ export OMP_NUM_THREADS=68 [yclu@ test]$ python test.py It takes 33.1969199181s [yclu@ test]$ export OMP_NUM_THREADS=1 [yclu@ test]$ mpirun -np 68 python test.py It takes 58.0391800404s ######################### END ######################### The time does not seem to be reduced by parallelism. And multi-process seem to have huge communication overhead. Is there a way to increase the speed by parallelism? Thanks, Yingchao
