[yt-dev] Loading data in spherical polar coordinates

[Matthew Turk]

Hi Mani,

As Cameron mentioned, there are some utilities to make this
transformation internally.  Right now we have *limited* support for
non-Cartesian coordinates being read directly in and manipulated in yt
3.0, but spherical coordinates are not yet implemented.  We have
support for  cylindrical polar (again, in a limited fashion) but not
yet spherical.  Adding support for it is on the roadmap, but right now
it is not top priority unfortunately.  What that means is that right
now you could likely do volumetric analysis with it, things like slice
plots and so on will not work properly.
