[Yt-dev] projection plotting tools

[Matthew Turk]

Hi Britton, Stephen,

I agree, these are very nice.  However, as the old saying goes, "Too
much light makes the baby go blind."  I would like you to incorporate
these into yt by either updating or completely replacing the
get_multi_plot functions at the bottom of PlotCollection.py.  I would
say either remove those and place yours in a new module, like
yt/raven/multi_plot_helpers.py or update them to include your new
features.

Honestly, we need something like this that we can all agree on,
because I know for a fact at least four different people have built
their Own Thing to do it -- let's all start paddling in the same
direction, and let's use this for a start!

A couple stylistic things:

 * Can we wrap at 78 characters?
 * Pyplot causes problems with threading, depending on the backend;
could you use the object-oriented interface to instantiate a Figure
and apply the transformations to its axes?  I can help out with this.
 * As for the h5py issue, I would prefer to see this accept the 2D
image objects (FRBs) and then set up the necessary structure to dump
FRBs to and from disk easily.

These are great, and I love the way the images look.  Thanks!
