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

hide phaseplot colorbar

by Stephanie Tonnesen

Hi yt-users! I would like to make phaseplots without the colorbar. I tried to just use the plot.hide_colorbar() command, but apparently PhasePlot has no attribute hide_colorbar() Looking at the docs, perhaps what I have to do it use PhasePlotMPL? Is there an example using this somewhere in the docs? Thanks in advance for any help/direction!!

Down Sampling data set

by Kuo-Chuan Pan

Dear all, Is there a simple way to create a data set with lower AMR levels? something like: ds = yt.load(fname, max_level=3) I knew that there is an example to down sample for volume rendering with AMRKDTree, but I don't know how to create a downsample data set which can be analysis and plot with SlicePlot, for example. http://yt-project.org/docs/dev/cookbook/complex_plots.html#downsampling-dat… Many thanks, Kuo-Chuan

Supernovae with Ramses and YT

by Matthieu Tricottet

Hello everyone! I'm simulating supernovae explosions with Ramses. I'm at the very very beginning of it. My first runs give nothing, but I'm unsure whether it's because I've misused Ramses or because I don't use YT properly to see results. My config file is this one: https://expirebox.com/download/59d92f446fea392dc9a6189603f1dc34.html Result files are here: https://expirebox.com/download/6bd562f210199b6b8581525c84d86eff.html When I try slices or projections, all I can see is that: https://ibb.co/jbeg9c I've loaded it with import yt ds = yt.load("my_path/output_00001/info_00001.txt") And then, tried things like yt.SlicePlot(ds, 'x', "density") or yt.ProjectionPlot(ds,'x','Density') (I've tried other axis too), but I can't get anything else that the image I've showed. Could someone help me to determine if the problem comes from my basic first simulation (Sedov supernovae phase) or from my Yt plots? I would really appreciate some help! Thank you very much

Memory and high level covering grids

by Rachel Smullen

Hi all, I've been running into this problem for a while now, but I've reached a point where I can't avoid it any longer. I have a 6 level AMR simulation (run with Orion, but that's probably irrelevant to my problem) that has a level 0 size of (256)^3. I would like to extract a covering grid for a small subset at level 4 (for the full volume, that equates to a (4096)^3 grid). The chunk that I want has an equivalent size at level 4 of 2048x2048x1536. Basic setup: I'm running on a node with 16 cores and 256 GB of memory. I have tried both yt version 3.4 and 3.5 (updated this morning). I've tried level = 4 ds = yt.load(filename) cg = ds.covering_grid(level, ds.domain_left_edge, ds.domain_dimensions * ds.refine_by**level) result = cg["density"][1024:3072,1434:3482,512:2048] This results in the error File "/home/u14/rsmullen/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/yt/data_objects/data_containers.py", line 282, in __getitem__ self.get_data(f) File "/home/u14/rsmullen/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/yt/data_objects/construction_data_containers.py", line 641, in get_data if len(fill) > 0: self._fill_fields(fill) File "/home/u14/rsmullen/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/yt/data_objects/construction_data_containers.py", line 690, in _fill_fields for field in fields] File "/home/u14/rsmullen/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/yt/data_objects/construction_data_containers.py", line 690, in <listcomp> for field in fields] MemoryError Looking at the memory buildup during execution, it appears that yt is loading densities for the entire volume to then return my chunk to me. I have more than enough memory on the machine (the job exits at ~70GB usage), so I think this is a Python limit on array allocations. I have also tried creating a box region in the area that I want, but covering grids cannot be run on regions. Thus, I tried saving my region as a dataset, but it reloads with incorrect limits and sizes: box = ds.box([xmin,ymin,zmin], [xmax,ymax,zmax]) box.save_as_dataset(filename = 'box', fields = (('gas','density'))) ds2 = yt.load('box.h5') print( ds2.domain_left_edge, ds2.domain_dimensions, ds2.refine_by ) cg = ds2.covering_grid(level, ds2.domain_left_edge, ds2.domain_dimensions * ds2.refine_by**level) This gives [ -7.72500000e+18 -7.72500000e+18 -7.72500000e+18] code_length [2 2 2] 2 instead of [-1.93125e+18 -1.15875e+18 -2.896875e+18] [128 128 96] 2 (my expectation) So, to summarize my questions: 1. Is there an easy way for me to directly get my chunk at level 4 resolution with yt as it stands now? 2. Otherwise, is there an easy Python fix to allow the array memory allocation to be larger? 3. If none of the above, how can I save my region with the correct properties so I can reload my chunk as a smaller dataset? Thanks so much for your help!
