Hi All, I have just learned about yt for large data visualization and analysis. It looks like such a wonderful package for getting things done in a quicker and very high quality kind of manner. Hence, I wish to employ the package to work with data from an outputting code called Carpet(http://www.carpetcode.org) built on top of another code called Cactus (for computational astrophysics simulations, e.g. merging black holes or neutron stars). Carpet also performs some adaptive mesh refinement in Cactus, as well as parallelization tasks (along with handling the I/O tasks). All these (cactus and Carpet) are part of a community-based code known as the Einstein Toolkit. Usually, one would be interested in creating some array of color-map snap-shots of 2D (2 spatial dimensions, plus the actual physical quantity) quantities from the resulting simulation data. Sometimes, such snap-shots could be meant to compare a certain quantity from various simulations. My general impression so far, however, is that the package seems be oriented towards systems that involve 'particles', like galaxies or similar bodies. Would it support the kind of data I'm working with (the 2D/3D scalars on refined grids, vectors, etc)? Or, would I need to try and extend yt to read/load my kind of data? Two output formats are possible from my simulations: HDF5 (CarpetIOHDF5, an adaptation of standard HDF5), and ASCII formats. I would prefer advice on the use of HDF5 though. Your advice will be highly appreciated.
