Hi Morgan,

Welcome to yt!

Dear yt gurus,

I've enjoyed using yt for a number of FLASH problems in cartesian geometry. Right now I'm just starting on a setup in FLASH 2D polar (eventually also in 3D cylindrical) geometries. 

These are ordered 
2D polar: r, theta
3D cylindrical: r, theta, z

I was intrigued when I noticed this image on the yt-blog (http://blog.yt-project.org/post/WhatsUpWith30.html) -- which is almost exactly what I would like to do.

I have updated to yt-3.0, and tried the simplest "Sliceplot" of the data:

fn = "const_rho_g_atm_hdf5_plt_cnt_0013"
  pf = load(fn)
  fig = SlicePlot(pf, 2,'dens').save("myfig.png")

This reads loads the 2D polar plot file correctly, but renders the result in a cartesian sense. 

Does anyone have advice/recipes for how to proceed with Slices rendered "cylindrically"? I understand that this feature set is not yet fully developed but I was curious if there was a solution (or parts of a solution) floating around out there. 

Thanks so much,

Morgan MacLeod

So, this is an area of active development.  Right now, you can do it *manually* by calling the pixelizer, but unfortunately it's not automated yet -- Anthony, JohnZ and I almost got it completely integrated to seamlessly do this, but unfortunately work stalled for a while.  Today and tomorrow I have to attend to some release & conference issues, but because I think this is quite close to completion I will be putting an item on my todo list to attempt to address this on Monday, including providing examples and tests.

Best,

Matt
