Hi,
I just installed the yt development version
http://hg.yt-project.org/yt/raw/yt/doc/install_script.sh
Version = 3.1-dev
Changeset = dc2ade033502 (yt) tip
into ubuntu 14.04
with
INST_ZLIB=0
INST_FTYPE=0
yt seemed to install properly and it works otherwise, but it doesn't
open any windows when I'm trying to show an image, e.g.,
when running the script
http://yt-project.org/doc/quickstart/3)_Simple_Visualization.py
line by line in ipython:
p = yt.ProjectionPlot(ds, "y", "density")
p.show() #doesn't open a window
In [35]: p.show()
However, saving the image works:
p.save()
When I run that script directly with python, I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "3)_Simple_Visualization_short.py", line 28, in <module>
p.show()
File "/home/.../yt/yt-x86_64/src/yt-hg/yt/visualization/plot_container.py",
line 622, in show
raise YTNotInsideNotebook
yt.utilities.exceptions.YTNotInsideNotebook: This function only works
from within an IPython Notebook.
I'm using
ipython --matplotlib
from pylab import *
and e.g. plot() and figure() open a window normally. Is there a way to
open a window with yt's show() and other functions
using ipython and python, or does that really require IPython Notebook?
Cheers,
Johanna
