There are instructions to switch to the development version here:

Hi Jason,

I had trouble with Flash particles last year, and John ZuHone fixed the bug. Could you try the newest yt3 and see if the problem goes away?

Nathan,

I'm using yt version 3.0.2 (which I see is not quite current) on Debian 7 (wheezy). I tried to pastebin the iPython error traceback, but it failed with a complaint that the MySQL server has 'gone away'. With apologies to the list, here's the traceback:

Hi all,

I'm sure I've just overlooked some bit of documentation, but I'm having trouble plotting particles generated by FLASH on top of the gas density. I've been able to load a plot file with the associated particle file via

ds = yt.load(plotfileName, particle_filename=partfileName)


However, when I try to create a projection and annotate the particles with

p = yt.ProjectionPlot(ds, "y", "density")
p.annotate_particles(1.0)                      # ValueError!
# p.annotate_particles((4.0, 'kpc'))         # ValueError!


Can you pastebin the full error traceback?  Which yt version are you using?

Forgot to mention that you can get precise version information by executing "yt version" at the bash command line.
 
 
I get a ValueError from h5py indicating that zero-length selections are not allowed. I have also tried passing the full width of the simulation domain to the annotation function without success. I suspect that this is a user error stemming from differences between the way that Enzo and FLASH store particle data. However, I can't find much in the way of documentation or examples for the FLASH particle data format.

Of course, it would also be handy to be able to write my own analysis scripts using both gas and particles, but for now, I'll settle for any help I can get on simple plotting functionality.

Thanks,
