Plotting particles efficiently for a cosmological simulation
Hi all, I am trying to plot the spatial distribution of stars and DM for a large simulation. For my simulation, yt.ProjectionPlot (using deposited fields) is very slow, so it is not very convenient given that I need to produce a large amount of plots. I have also tried yt.ParticlePlot, which is much faster but the default grid size is too small, and so for low particle densities it is very difficult to see individual particles. I haven't found the way to increase the grid size, since x_bins and y_bins can't seem to be modified for a ParticleProjectionPlot (only for ParticlePhasePlot). I have also considered using annotate_particles, but it doesn't give as much information about the density of particles integrated over the line of sight. Reducing alpha doesn't solve the problem. Is there any better way to approach this? Thanks in advance!!
