Rajika Kuruwita:

Hi there,

I have created some fields. It is able to plot some but others (particularly my Enclosed mass field and every other field that uses that field) cannot be plotted. When I try to use Sliceplot the warning "Plot image for field ('gas', 'Enclosed_Mass') has zero dynamic range. Min = Max = 0.000000.". However, when the field is retrieved using dd['Enclosed_Mass'], it is not all zero, in fact min=6.01427540665e+32 g and max=2.11538515805e+33 g.

This field is not created in the conventional way, with one to one matrix math, and it is a bit slow to calculate because I used radial bins to approximate the value. But I think the main issue is that, the field is non-zero everywhere, but Sliceplot is unable to plot the field or other fiends that use it.
