[yt-users] axis ticks problem in ProjectionPlot function

[Ji Suoqing]

Hi Nathan,

> what you mean by 'set the domain.'

This is defined in FLASH4 as runtime parameter, which means that in FLASH hdf5 file, the domain has already been intrinsically set to [0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0].

So a simple script for this plot is just:

from yt.mods import *
pf=load('pringle_hdf5_chk_0000')
p1 = ProjectionPlot(pf, "z", "Density")
p1.save()

So I just attach two figures generated by YT and VisIt respectively, from which you could see the axis tick difference. In VisIt the axis ticks is correct, while in YT is not.

I suspect in YT, the domain edge should be firstly grasped, based on which the axis ticks could be correctly set.

Thanks for your care.

Best wishes,
Suoqing

YT plot: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/83265784/YT_pringle_hdf5_chk_0000_Projection_z_Density.png

P.S. What is plotted out is a constant density field with AMR, while YT seems have weird plot in such case, just as the figure shown. But I do not care too much about this because I do not treat constant field.
