Hi Shaokun and Matt, I started building a frontend for PLUTO xdmf and vtk in yt but didn’t pursue the project to completion. From my preliminary findings, vtk frontend would be very similar to single part vtk file reading of Athena. I would be happy to collaborate in this effort.

Hi Shaokun,

Sorry for not replying back sooner! I think this should be more than possible to do. We have a few other frontends that generalize the metadata etc independently of the specific file format -- Gadget, for instance. It might be easier to open up a non-working Work-in-progress pull request, or file an issue, and continue the conversation there. I'd be happy to walk through the process with you.

Hi all, I'm working with PLUTO now and require some analysis tools which are

provided by yt, such as OffAxisProjection.

However, I found PLUTO data is only supported in Chombo HDF5 format so far. I have some initial setups which are conflict with chombo library. So does anyone know how to analyze general format data of PLUTO, such as .dbl and .vtk, with yt? btw, I'm also wondering how complex it is if I want to create a frontend for the general format data of PLUTO. Is that all stuff mentioned in https://yt-project.org/doc/developing/creating_frontend.html?

Hi Matt, Thanks for your replying. I just create a new issue for this topic and mentioned you there. Looking forward for further discussion! Shaokun
