[yt-users] Side by side plotting

[Matthew Turk]

Hi Dave,

Yes, there is.  Jeff Oishi might be able to chime in with a bit more,
but setting up a multi-plot is included with yt.  Right now the
colorbars are a bit tricky; however, with the next proper release of
Matplotlib (including a new axes_grid toolkit by Jae-Joon Lee which
will simplify this all dramatically) this will be expanded and made
better.  Additionally, we have to play a few games here because the
current yt mechanism for updating plots is to wipe the axes;
newer-than-1.5 will be using a data replacement mechanism.  In short,
this will get better, but right now it needs kid gloves.

Here's my current sketch of the script, which I have tried to comment
quite a bit, because -- as I mentioned above -- it's still mildly
cumbersome to do this.  (Although, looking back, it's still not that
many lines of code, so I guess it's not so bad.)  You can download a
raw version of the script by clicking 'raw' at the top.
Alternatively, clone the hg repository (and contribute some cookbook
recipes of your own!)

http://hg.enzotools.org/cookbook/file/e6d3d25ecdf2/recipes/multi_plot.py

You can replace the hash with 'tip' to get the latest version.

Hope that helps!  This is part of the newly-expanding cookbook of yt
scripts.  By the end of the week this cookbook should be expanded
quite a bit, as we're currently running through an Enzo+yt tutorial at
the Princeton workshop, and I'm adding to it as we go.

I've attached a sample image I made with this script.

-Matt
