[yt-users] change in add_projection/add_thin_projection for unweighted projections?

[Matthew Turk]

Hi Christine,

It's in the main development branch, yes.  If you are on that branch
already you can just do:

yt instinfo -u

-Matt

I have some projection scripts from ~a month ago that are all off by like 20 orders of magnitude on the color bar limits for unweighted projections.  The only thing that makes sense to me is that yt is now dividing the line of sight integration by the depth of the projection.  So it is sum(f(i)*dl(i))/sum(dl(i)) instead of sum(f(i)*dl(i)).  Is that right?  I don't think it used to do that.  It's fine if that is now what it is doing, but I just want to make sure.  I'm a little confused.
