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

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 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

ACCESSING GAS FILEDS THROUGH ARBITRARY_GRID
by Vadlamani Samhitha 05 Nov '18

05 Nov '18

Hi, I am using arbitrary_grid to access my data without flattening: > dd=ds.arbitrary_grid(left_edge=[(com_x_1.value-30), (com_y_1.value-30), > (com_z_1.value-30)]*kpc, right_edge=[(com_x_1.value+30), (com_y_1.value+30), > (com_z_1.value+30)]*kpc, dims=[128, 128, 128]) > and as I attempt to get the gas fields for this object, > print(dd['gas', 'velocity_x']) > but end up getting the error: (which isn't the case for deposit fields) yt.units.unit_registry.UnitParseError: Code units have not been defined. > Try creating the array or quantity using ds.arr or ds.quan instead. If I'm thinking right, is it because the arbitrary_grid is only applied to the particles. In that case, is there any equivalent for gas fields where I can access my 3D data for the gas as it is , without flattening? Thanks

Re: using young stars to calculate the angular momentum vector

Hi Sam, This is a new feature in yt 3.5.0, you’ll need to update to be able to use it. Let us know if you have questions about updating.

using young stars to calculate the angular momentum vector
by Samantha M Benincasa 30 Oct '18

30 Oct '18

Hi everyone, I'm trying to get a halo into a face-on and side-on configuration using sp.quantities.angular_momentum_vector. Is there a way to do this calculation with only the young stars in the sphere? The docs suggest that angular_momentum_vector will take a "particle_type" keyword, but my version does not recognize this. Cheers, Sam

ACCESSING DATA AS IT IS
by Vadlamani Samhitha 24 Oct '18

24 Oct '18

Hi, I would like to access data from Ramses as it is because I would want to divide my selected region into subgrids and compute some quantity locally in those subgrids. However, using all_data or ds.r would rearrange the information as it flattens the data (please correct me if I got this wrong). Is there a way in yt, where I can simply access the 3D data as it is and divide into subcubes? Thank you.

BUILT-IN VELOCITY DISPERSION COMPUTATION
by Vadlamani Samhitha 22 Oct '18

22 Oct '18

Hi, I am still a bit new to yt and am trying to compute local velocity dispersions of the gas in my simulation by dividing the entire volume into ‘n’ number of sub grids. Does yt offer any functionality that could perform this in a simple fashion? (I looked up the documentation and couldn’t find any such function). Thank you.
