volume rendering of other fields than the density

Hi all, I used the example script from the Tutorial section of the Volume Rendering page: http://yt-project.org/doc/visualizing/volume_rendering.html#adaptive-healpix... It works fine for the density, but for any other field (e.g. temperature) the output is just blank. I don't see why I wouldn't work for other fields, as the script appears to be written for arbitrary fields. Changing level bounds, use_log, etc. doesn't help. Does anyone how to fix this? Cheers, Wolfram

Hi Wolfram, Sorry for the trouble -- the adaptive healpix rendering is fairly beta, as noted in that example, and I fear it may have gotten left behind in some of the recent developments. Could you let me know what version of yt you are using? You can check this with: yt instinfo It should spit out something like (in addition to other things): The current version of the code is: --- 1158e48daef2 --- Thanks, Sam On Thu, May 16, 2013 at 3:04 AM, Wolfram Schmidt < schmidt@astro.physik.uni-goettingen.de> wrote:

Any update on this issue? I was recommending this to another grad student who wanted a projection map from a central point of a simulation. Not sure if it is the right thing, but seemed the closest I can find. I tried healpix example script from the doc page: http://paste.yt-project.org/show/3466/ and got the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "healpix.py", line 18, in <module> camera.snapshot() File "/Users/gso/Documents/dev-yt/src/yt-hg/yt/visualization/volume_rendering/camera.py", line 1282, in snapshot tfp = TransferFunctionProxy(self.transfer_function) NameError: global name 'TransferFunctionProxy' is not defined using dev-yt from a fresh install as of yesterday The current version of the code is: --- 03c08d0a79ca --- This installation CAN be automatically updated. yt dependencies were last updated on Thu May 16 13:09:12 PDT 2013 Somehow it always tells me I need to update manually when I do >yt update --all, so I just did a fresh install.

Hi Geoffrey and Wolfram, It looks to me like the adaptive healpix volume renderer has bitrot. My guess is that this dates back to the threading changeover. I am the original author of this functionality. If someone else is able to look at it and update it, it would be greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, I cannot take on this responsibility at this time. Please fill out a bug so that it does not get lost. -Matt On Fri, May 17, 2013 at 3:57 PM, Geoffrey So <gsiisg@gmail.com> wrote:

Bug filed. Is there something else that does all sky projection like WMAP in YT? I guess the healpix isn't 'exactly' what the guy wanted but that's the closest thing I found. From G.S. On Fri, May 17, 2013 at 1:16 PM, Matthew Turk <matthewturk@gmail.com> wrote:
