[yt-users] User defined fields

Hi everyone,

This is probably a dumb question, but is there an easier way to say,
change the axis label of a Density projection from "Density (g/cm^2)" to
the more accurate "Surface Density (g/cm^2)" or "\Sigma (g/cm^2)" besides
adding a new field named that?  When you create a field you can specify
projection units, but for Density the name stays as "Density", which
causes confusion.  Creating a new field is easy enough, but it would be
convenient if there was a simpler way.  If anyone has any suggestions they
would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike
