Hi Tazkera,

You can always get rays and do the integration yourself:

ray = ds.ray(p1,p2)

dens = ray['density']

where p1 and p2 are tuples of the end points of the ray. If you're using cartesian coordinates then you can also get x, y and z along the ray:

x = ray['x']

etc.

then the position is just

r = np.sqrt(x**2 + y**2 + z**2)

and you can use a numpy or scipy integration method.

If you're using data from an AMR run you may need to sort the data:

tord = ray['t'])

dens = ray['dens'][tord]

and similarly for other data from the ray.

Regards,

Jon

Subject: [yt-users] Integration of a field along line of sight

Dear YT people,

I need to do integration of density field along line of sight. I know the
ProjectionPlot function plots the integration of a field along line of
sight.

yt.ProjectionPlot(ds, 'z', 'density, center= 'm')

However, I was wondering if it is possible to get the projection as an
array (or new field) , so that I can make a ProfilePlot of the integrated
field along line of sight and another field ('Mass')

In other words, I want to do the following:

sp = ds.sphere("max", (200, "kpc"))
proj = yt.ProfilePlot(sp, 'Integrated_Density_along_Line_Of_Sight', 'Mass)

Thanks
Tazkera
