Hi Stephanie,

Hilary Egan (on this mailing list) has a BitBucket repo with the code she used in her paper, which will do what you've requested or at least get you most of the way there. It's not publicly available, but it should be usable for you (though it might need to be updated to yt-3). Hopefully she can share that with you!

Hi all,

I have a feelling that the answer to this is--nope, not easy or built-in, but thought I should check before I go nuts staring at the source code. I know that once I make a spectrum I can get the column density of all the absorbers along a LightRay, and the b value. Is there a way to get the size, or length, of each absorber? I see a figure doing this in the Egan 2014 paper, but don't see a clear way to ask for it in any of the calls, nor do I see anything in Trident.

Thanks,
Stephanie
