Matt,

Thank you. Do you mind if I test the capability?

Of *course* not! My worry is only that you'll develop a script that then gets the API rug pulled out from under it, or that maybe results in an as-yet unknown error.

For instance, if I have a uniform grid of r, theta, phi and rho, is there a current API (subject to change) to test how well yt handles this data that I can use to give feedback?

Yup! In the current tip of yt-3.0, you should be able to load this in by specifying it in r, theta, phi coordinates to load_uniform_grid and supplying the argument geometry="spherical". Slice plots, etc, should be able to work properly, although projections will not.

If people want to wait until the code is mature before such tests are done that's fine. But if you would like me to test on some uniform data I would be happy to. Just let me know the current lines I would need to execute to do this. Else I will wait.

Hey everyone,

This blog post [1] makes it look like if you have the latest hg tip of yt you might be able to do slices of data in spherical coordinates. Could someone explain how with a simple example since I don't see any documentation? Thanks.
