Hi Lukas,I think Nathan's point was that there are other people working on new frontends currently, and they are smoothing over the instructions for how to make a new one.Probably the best thing to do in the short run is to figure out how to read your data in using the Athena frontend. If you have a sample dataset you can post somewhere for us to try that would help.I nominally maintain the Athena frontend, but I don't have a ton of time at the moment, so it sort of depends on how difficult it will be to make the changes in terms of how long it will take. If you're up for giving it a shot yourself I'm happy to give you pointers.Is this uniformly gridded data, or something else?Best,John================================John ZuHone, Chandra/ACIS OperationsHarvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics60 Garden St., MS-67 (w) 617-496-1816

================================Hello all,This is a followup to my question here (http://lists.spacepope.org/pipermail/yt-users-spacepope.org/2016-May/007830.html). Apologies, but I can't seem to figure out how to reply since I was never sent an e-mail for either my question or Nathan's response.I'm trying to load a legacy VTK file into YT (see format description http://www.vtk.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/file-formats.pdf), but I when I try:ds = yt.load("file.vtk")I get the error:traceback (most recent call last): File "visualization.py", line 3, in <module> ds = yt.load("file.vtk") File "C:\Users\Dave\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\yt\convenience.py", line 84, in load return candidates[0](*args, **kwargs) File "C:\Users\Dave\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\yt\frontends\athena\data_structures.py", line 470, in __init__ Dataset.__init__(self, filename, dataset_type, units_override=units_override) File "C:\Users\Dave\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\yt\data_objects\static_output.py", line 190, in __init__ self._parse_parameter_file() File "C:\Users\Dave\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\yt\frontends\athena\data_structures.py", line 528, in _parse_parameter_file self.domain_left_edge = grid['left_edge'] KeyError: 'left_edge'Nathan Goldbaum pointed out is his answer that YT can read in VTK files from Athena. I looked into this and it seems like the difference between my file and Athena's files is that mine are ASCII while Athena's are binary. Is that right?On another note, Nathan also pointed out there are people working on a frontend for the VTK format I'm using. Could I provide any help there?Thanks again, and sorry for the double posting.Lukas_______________________________________________
