[Yt-dev] Halo Rvir Circles w/ Yt?

[Matthew Turk]

Hi Peter,

I've CC'd yt-dev on the reply.

I think that the total mass in a halo would also be a reasonable
proxy; calculating the virial radius is more expensive, but also
doable.  If we added a total mass scaling, would you suggest scaling
the mass by using the implicit volume of the circle plotted?
