Hi, Nathan--

Thanks!

You can change the axes units using the set_width function, which accepts a (width, unit) tuple or a tuple of such tuples.

Does that change the actual data represented?

No.

You can change the unit of the image with the set_unit function.

My dataset doesn't have any intrinsic units, is there an easy way to tell the dataset how to get from code to physical units? I feel like this question has been asked before, but I can't find the answer, sorry about that.

When you call load, supply an overload_units dictionary. See:

http://yt-project.org/docs/dev/analyzing/units/comoving_units_and_code_units.html?highlight=units_override#Overriding-Code-Unit-Definitions

Thanks to John ZuHone for implementing that functionality and making sure it's working and tested for all the frontends.

Hope that helps,

Nathan

Hi, Everybody--

I'm looking to find a way to change the units on the x- and y-axes for a projection. Is it possible to do that directly on the plot window or projection object? Or, is it possible to make an arbitrary unit conversion once a dataset has been loaded?

Thanks!
d.
