Porting .ply files to Blender with colors?
by Jill P. Naiman Aug. 15, 2022

Aug. 15, 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 12, 2020

April 12, 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.

mass-weighted average magnetic field (QUIVERS) projected on to the plane plot
by nirmit sakre Jan. 5, 2020

Jan. 5, 2020

I would like to annotate Mass weighted Magnetic field quivers on density projection plot so that i can display the magnetic field features. Do annotate_magnetic_field() , annotate_quiver() work correctly on projection plot or do they work only on slice plot correctly. If they work on projection plot then against which quantity magnetic field quivers are weighed or not weighted?

Ytini installation for Houdini on Windows
by uran san Dec. 17, 2019

Dec. 17, 2019

Hi guys, I am very new to Ytini's mailing list, mailing lists as well as Houdini. So please bear with me while I pick up the etiquette around this medium. With that out of the way here's my first question: After having succeeded installing Ytini for Houdini on a Mac OS X 10.14 I would now like to achieve the same with my Houdini install on a Windows 10 OS. I have tried to somewhat reproduce all steps described here http://www.ytini.com/getstarted.html#collapseTwoOut (Houdini 17.5 Tested on Mac OS X) on my Windows machine but wasn't surprised to learn that of course Houdini could not find the ytini module when I tried to import it in the python shell. Is there somebody, that could point me . in the right direction of how to install Ytini for Houdini on a Windows 10 OS environment? Not afraid of reading so even hints a re more than welcome. Many Thanks in advance Ur4n

How to pass value of the field corresponds to the index to the scalar function!!!
by Prateek Gupta Nov. 4, 2019

Nov. 4, 2019

Dear Yt-users, I need to pass the value of the available/derived field corresponds to the index selected based on some criterion (using numpy.where()) to a scalar function. It should list out the indexes wheres the condition satisfies. It happens when this has been done outside the field but instead of getting 3D indexes it gives 1D YT_Array indexes I think. But I need to pass this value of field corresponds to the selected index to scalar function inside the field, which may give some problem (please find the attachment to see what exactly I am trying to do). The attached script can run on the ENZO test data set, enzo_tiny_cosmology. Many thanks and regards -Prateek

Hi everyone, What: yt user/developer workshop Where: Edinburgh, UK When: June 29 to July 3, 2020 I'm very pleased to announce that there will be a yt user/developer workshop at the Higgs Centre for Theoretical Physics at University of Edinburgh from June 29 to July 3, 2020. The workshop will begin with a couple days of tutorials for new users and then transition into development activities. This will be a good opportunity to meet and join the yt community. More information to follow, but mark your calendars and diaries now. I hope to see you next summer! Britton

Update on yt governance documents/structure
by Madicken Munk Oct. 23, 2019

Oct. 23, 2019

Hi yt-users! We've been working on updating our governance model for the yt-project to help our project grow, to codify our decision-making process, and to outline the governance structure of the project. I've submitted two companion pull requests with drafts of this updated documentation: https://github.com/yt-project/governance/pull/1 and https://github.com/yt-project/ytep/pull/7 (you can see the contents of the pull requests if you click on the "files changed" tab; text highlighted in green is an addition and in red is removed) Our existing governance document is located at https://ytep.readthedocs.io/en/master/YTEPs/YTEP-1776.html The first pull request is to a new governance repository, where our governance documentation will live separately from the YTEPs (yt enhancement proposals). This will allow us to maintain and minorly update our governance without having to update YTEP. The second pull request is to the YTEP repository and generally outlines the core values and ideas we want our governance structure to reflect. Hopefully all of the things I've listed in the YTEP are reflected in the governance docs. As members of the community, I'd like to solicit feedback from all of you about these governance documents. Do these reflect our community values? Should we add anything? Do you feel everything is clear? Is this too much governance for our community right now? Is there something that's missing? As users, do you feel our governance structure is supportive to you, or do you think there is a way we could improve it to do so? Feel free to reply here or comment on the pull requests! Our governance will be better with your feedback. -Madicken

Saving field data
by Edward Buie II Oct. 22, 2019

Oct. 22, 2019

Hello hope you are doing well. I am trying to save some projection and slice field data within a sphere by doing the following : my_sphere = stuff.sphere([0.5,0.5,0.5],(214,"kpc")) prj1 = yt.SlicePlot(stuff,'z',('gas','radius'),data_source=my_sphere) rad = prj1.frb['gas','radius'] prj1.save() I then save rad to a pickle file to read in by another code. The full simulation domain is 800 kpc. When I load the pickle file and print out the values I am getting many 0's. And this is also the same when I make a projection of some field and save it in the same way to a pickle file. My question is, even though I am limiting the data to within a sphere, does rad also hold values that are not within that sphere and saving them as 0's? Is there a better way to go about this? Thank you. -- Edward N. Buie II, *Ph.D. Candidate* Astrophysics School of Earth and Space Exploration (SESE) Arizona State University

create a derived field from a multi-dimensional array
by Yang Luo Oct. 22, 2019

Oct. 22, 2019

Hi I would like to create a new filed, but I encounter one problem here. The dataset is in Arepo format, and there is one field ('PartType0', 'GFM_Metals'), the dimension of this field is (2716294, 10). For normal field, like ('PartType0', 'Masses'), the dimension is (2716294, ). So field ('PartType0', 'GFM_Metals') has more dimensions. Below is how I create the new field. As I only need one row from ('PartType0', 'GFM_Metals') , so that: def _nOxy(field, data): X_Oxygen = data['PartType0', 'GFM_Metals'][:,4] rho = data['PartType0', 'Density'] nOxy = X_Oxygen *rho/ ds.quan(mh,'g') return nOxy ds.add_field(('PartType0', 'nOxy'), function=_nOxy, units='cm**-3',particle_type=True) However, it shows error: IndexError: too many indices for array The error is from data['PartType0', 'GFM_Metals'][:,4], where yt does not support using [:,4]. So I am wondering if there is any other method to handle this. I am grateful for your suggestions. Thanks, Yang
