Yeah, these are the kind of subtleties we really want to avoid at this point. The complexity makes it into a black box; this impedes the ability to dump things into crazy layouts and whatnot.
The subtleties I meant were the matplotlib subtleties, not the yt subtleties. I actually really appreciate that yt has plot functions that take care of most of those details for me, I've gotten quite far with what yt provides. Matplotlib, on the other hand, I find pretty counter-intuitive (and in some cases overtly missleading in documentation, variable names, and object structure) I think that there's a balance between user- and expert- friendliness in any complex tool, I in general appreciate where yt sits on that balance. Thanks, d.
At its heart, it's just a pcolormesh with masking for the zero values. If you rely on standard matplotlib/pylab to get there, I think you should be okay -- but yes, the complexity and subtleties that have developed there need to be eliminated. For the most part they have changed only slightly since Matplotlib 0.91, which was a long time ago. The motion to a stripped down object is to require more thought on the part of the user, but in doing so to allow greater flexibility in what can be done.
Good luck ...

Yes, but you should also be able to pickle just the ._data attribute (which is a dict of numpy arrays) of the BinnedProfile2D object, too.
I might revert to that. I had tried that initially, but using the BinnedProfile object lets me call PlotTypes.PhasePlot directly, and there are a number of subtleties about the plotting done in that routine that I like, so I could avoid some wheel reinvention.
Thanks a ton, d.

Cool, I'll give that a shot.
Is it possible to cram an existing pickle (if I'm on the originating machine, where the unpickle works) into the PhasePlotter format, or will I need to remake the phase plots?
Thanks! d.
more constraining in exposed methods, but also provides the attribute .plot, which can be pickled and which itself provides a to_mpl function that takes filenames, axes or figures. You should read the source to see how it works, but this is the "future" for pickling and passing plots.

This is a technique I've used in the past, so in principle it's sound.
Thanks, d.
