Hi Nathan, Yup! The textfile has positions and radii of several spheres. Even a hack is most welcome at this point :) -Jill On Mon, Nov 17, 2014 at 5:57 PM, Nathan Goldbaum <nathan12343@gmail.com> wrote:

Doug Rudd (cc'd) has been thinking about composing selectors. I'm not sure if it's possible to combine selectors using a boolean addition like you need yet. He might have a better idea of what's necessary to get that working.

Hi all,

I'm trying to mask out several spheres in my domain before making a phase plot. Is there a way to do this? I've tried making a derived field, using the boolean mask things, and checked out the "masking domain" section of the cookbook with little success.

The regions I want to mask out come from a text file of x/y/z coordinates and radii.

Thanks for any insights! -Jill _______________________________________________ yt-users mailing list yt-users@lists.spacepope.org http://lists.spacepope.org/listinfo.cgi/yt-users-spacepope.org

Boolean objects still work in yt 2.x, I believe. You could always go back to that version and do it there? http://yt-project.org/docs/2.6/cookbook/constructing_data_objects.html?highl... On Mon, Nov 17, 2014 at 4:36 PM, Douglas Harvey Rudd <drudd@uchicago.edu> wrote:

Hi Jill,

The boolean masks don’t work in yt 3.0, and my addition currently only allows you to compute the union of two selectors. I do plan to generalize what I did to allow negation and intersection, but I’m not sure when I’ll be able to get to it.
