[yt-users] parallel volume render returns blank image

[Britton Smith]

Hi Sam,

Here is the script I'm using for the render:
http://paste.yt-project.org/show/1899/

The command I'm using is:
mpirun -np 2 python render_Z.py --parallel

Also, I seem to be having trouble reading today.  Processor zero does have
the right number of nonzero pixels, but the image still comes out all black.
