Hi Yang, I think the cell structures are artifacts of the octree that the density is smoothed onto in this case. One thing you could try is to increase the over-refinement of the octree that the particles are deposited onto. So, this would be something like: ds = yt.load(...,over_refinement_factor=1) (the default is over_refinement_factor=0). You can increase this number even higher, though factors above >~2 will start to get pretty taxing on the memory. -d On Mon, Jun 22, 2015 at 6:13 AM, Yang Luo <yluo@vega.ess.sci.osaka-u.ac.jp> wrote:

Hi

I am trying to use yt to make a projection plot from gadget data. for the plot, I set the field to be plotted as ('deposit', 'PartType0_smoothed_density'). But the final plot shows some cell structures, so I want to know how to smooth or render this plot. In splash, the plot is better rendered. could this be done in yt ? I am grateful for your comments.
