2.6.5. dispatch.yt module

dispatch.yt is an interface to the YT Project Python package.

Try for example:

import yt
import dispatch.yt

To read the 1st snapshot from the ../data/run, do:

help(dispatch.yt.snapshot)
ds=dispatch.yt.snapshot(1,run='run',data='../data')

The resulting ds is an instance of the YT data set class. For documentation of the various YT commands below, use help(command). To make a slice plot, try:

fld='density'
slc=yt.SlicePlot(ds,fld=fld,axis=2,center=[.5.,.5,.5])
slc.set_log(fld,True)
slc.set_colorbar_label(fld,'Density')
slc.set_xlabel('')
slc.set_ylabel('')
slc.annotate_grids(edgecolors='white',draw_ids=False)
slc.show()
slc.save('slice_plot.png')
