Hi, Everybody-- I'm looking to find a way to change the units on the x- and y-axes for a projection. Is it possible to do that directly on the plot window or projection object? Or, is it possible to make an arbitrary unit conversion once a dataset has been loaded? Thanks! d. -- -- Sent from a computer.

You can change the axes units using the set_width function, which accepts a (width, unit) tuple or a tuple of such tuples. You can change the unit of the image with the set_unit function. Hope that helps, Nathan On Friday, June 26, 2015, David Collins <dcollins4096@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi, Nathan-- Thanks!

Does that change the actual data represented?

My dataset doesn't have any intrinsic units, is there an easy way to tell the dataset how to get from code to physical units? I feel like this question has been asked before, but I can't find the answer, sorry about that. d.
Hope that helps,
Nathan

When you call load, supply an overload_units dictionary. See: http://yt-project.org/docs/dev/analyzing/units/comoving_units_and_code_units... Thanks to John ZuHone for implementing that functionality and making sure it's working and tested for all the frontends.

Gah, my search-fu is being sluggish today. Thanks a ton! And thanks, John! d.
