If you're feeling up to it, you want to make a cookbook recipe for this and then take a projection of it or something?  No big deal if you don't.

Hey All,

Just for posterity, Matt suggested the following (offline) which worked. :

add_field(("PartType0","MetalDens"),function=_metaldens,units="g/cm**3")

to
add_field(("PartType0","MetalDens"),function=_metaldens,units="g/cm**3", particle_type=True)


So, in summary, to add a smoothed field, the add_field command should be called as above), followed by the adding of a volume_weighted_smoothed_field via something like:
metal_field = add_volume_weighted_smoothed_field("PartType0", "Coordinates", "Masses",
                                              "SmoothingLength", "Density","MetalDens",
                                              ds.field_info)

Hey Matt,

Thanks for this!  This definitely added a field though has a small hiccup when trying to access the information in it.    I can't seem to access the yt pastebin, so I'll copy the issue below.

#I define metaldens (metal density) as:
def _metaldens(field,data): return (data["PartType0","Density"]*data["PartType0","Metallicity"])

add_field(("PartType0","MetalDens"),function=_metaldens,units="g/cm**3"]
ds = load(fname,unit_base=unit_base,bounding_box=bbox)
ds.index
ad = ds.all_data()

#then add the smoothed field
metal_fn = add_volume_weighted_smoothed_field("PartType0", "Coordinates", "Masses",
                                              "SmoothingLength", "Density","MetalDens",
                                              ds.field_info)

metal_fn = metal_fn[0]

#when trying to access this information, though, I get the error below:
print ad[metal_fn]

Hi Desika,

Looking over the code, if you have a *particle* quantity, you should be able to add a *smoothed* quantity using this type of construction:

from yt.fields.particle_fields import add_volume_weighted_smoothed field

The API for this function is:

def add_volume_weighted_smoothed_field(ptype, coord_name, mass_name,
        smoothing_length_name, density_name, smoothed_field, registry,
        nneighbors = None)

so you should be able to supply particle type, "particle_position", "particle_mass", "smoothing_length", the density name ("density" probably), the name of the field to smooth, and then the ds.field_info.  I believe this should do it, and it may require another step but I don't think so.

Hey All,

I'm trying to figure out how to add a new smoothed field to a data set.  Specifically, I want to add a (particle) field, and then be able to access the smoothed mesh quantities (the same way I would access the mesh quantities of density as below, for example)

ad = ds.all_data()

ad["deposit","PartType0_smoothed_desnsity"]

(in this case PartType0 is gas).   I'm adding a field prior to loading the data set as described here:

thanks,
