[yt-users] Error with derived field

[Britton Smith]

Hi Nathan,

This could be an issue with how you set up your covering_grid or
smoothed_covering_grid.  Can you try out this script?
http://paste.yt-project.org/show/2512/
This depends on the script that you included in your post, so make sure
it's in the same directory.  This will add up the number of cells in your
grid object for which the dPhidx field is zero.
