grid background for camera snapshot
yt newbie here - nice software, thanks for all your hard work!
I really like the matplotlib 3d axis background, as e.g. http://yt-project.org/doc/cookbook/complex_plots.html#plotting-isocontours But I can't figure out how to get something remotely like that with a rendered camera snapshot.
Is this possible? Thanks. Remy
Hi Remy,
Sam or Matt may correct me here, but I don't think that the Camera interface is currently capable of providing a backdrop like the one from Matplotlib in that example. However, you *can* provide a bounding box for your data, which gives it some context of 3-dimensional space: http://yt-project.org/doc/cookbook/complex_plots.html#volume-rendering-with-...
There is currently development going on in yt 3.0 to enable a more extensive camera interface which may allow for something like this, but it will be a few more months before it's ready for use.
I hope this helps.

Hi Remy and Cameron,
I think that's correct. There's a prototype implemented that could potentially do this, but it's not ready yet. Basically, what needs to happen:
* Input color determined * Z-buffer created * Rays integrated out to z-buffer values * Compositing step
Right now, there're prototypes of the last three items, but the first one for isocontours is not ready or done. If you're interested in working toward this, I think it could be relatively straightforward (phong shading, collisions, etc, are all realizable in the existing infrastructure) but I think on my end and Sam's end we won't be able to spend a considerable amount of time on it for at least the next month.
