Hi all,

I'm new to using yt, though I'm an experienced python and matplotlib user. I've been doing runs with FLASH and would like to be able to plot the results with matplotlib. I've used yt "interactively" in an ipython notebook and found it a bit cumbersome - e.g. you can't pan and zoom like you can with matplotlib. On the other hand yt has some nice facilities for accessing the data. So my question is, how do I get a slice, such as is plotted using the yt.SlicePlot function, in an array that I can then manipulate, plot, etc.? If I do:

ds = yt.load(file)

slc = ds.slice(2,0.)

d = slc['density']

I have a YTArray that's apparently 1-D:

d.shape

(138496,)

I should mention that this is a 2-D, cylindrically symmetric (r-z) run. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Regards,

Jon Slavin
