Hi Matt,

I greatly appreciate the help.  The pictures you see are what I get on a first run using
%run scatter3DAthenaData.py
Whether or not I then close the plot window, issuing %run scatter3DAthenaData.py again brings up a new plot with the mess of points.  
So maybe this is just specific to my install?  I suppose I should try running it on my linux box then.  

Here is the output of yt instinfo:
(yt-x86_64)Macbook$ yt instinfo:

Also, here is the output from %run scatter3DAthenaData.py:

Thanks again!

I'm not sure.  I haven't been able to replicate the problem here, but
I have a handful of suspicions.  I was able to generate these two
images, one for the 0000 dataset and the second for 0030.

Can you tell me a bit more specifically how you're running the script?
 You start up iyt, then do %run , and then %run again?  Does it happen
if you do:

%run scatter3DAthenaData.py
%run scatter3DAthenaData.py

and look at the resultant plot?  (It does not for me, FWIW.)  Does it
happen if you do multiple datasets in a row?

What's the output of:

yt instinfo

specifically, the changeset hash it provides.

Interesting.  I do not believe that there is a problem with your data,
but we'll get to the bottom of it!

Best,

Matt
