Hi John,

Thanks for this.  So I now have this in, and it is being applied to my SlicePlot and ProjectionPlot, but my pc.add_phase_object is still using code units.  There is an excerpt below. 

>pf = load("id0/rps."+outstring[i]+".vtk",parameters={"TimeUnits":9.78262,"LengthUnits":26.,"DensityUnits":9.999e-30,"VelocityUnits":2.6e3,"MassUnits":2.596e6})
>pc = PlotCollection(pf)
>tracerp25 = alld.cut_region(["grid['specific_scalar[0]'] > 0.25", "grid['z'] > 0.01"])
>pc.add_phase_object(tracerp25,["z","velocity_z","CellMass"],weight=None,x_log=False,y_log=False)

Can I force it to use physical units?

Thanks,
Stephanei

Stephanie,

You can set it up like this:

pf = load("virgo_weak_mag.0054.vtk",
                 parameters={"TimeUnits":3.1557e13,
                                         "LengthUnits":3.0856e24,
                                         "DensityUnits":6.770424595218825e-27})

Sorry, this is a little-documented feature.

Best,

John
