[yt-dev] Projections of FITS cubes

[Nathan Goldbaum]

Hi all,

I think this question is primarily for John ZuHone, but please feel free to
jump in.

I'm currently looking at the FITS frontend for my scipy talk.

I just made a projection of the M33 HI data cube we have on the data hub.
 The image is here: http://i.imgur.com/kcw98g8.png

I know that we decided to not try to jam WCS axes into the PlotWindow code,
instead reserving that for PlotWindowWCS.  I agree with that.

However, I'm confused about the units of the z-axis.  Presumably, the units
of the actual observation are km/s.  Did we ever investigate making the
units of the z-axis km/s? Is that not possible at the moment due to a
restriction that all three axes must have spatial units?

Thanks for your advice,

Nathan
