[yt-users] hop circles

[Eric Hallman]

Nathan,
  ok. Thanks.  I didn't realize that hop circles wasn't periodic by nature.  

I will recenter.

If you're unsure how to do that, it's described in the enzo docs as well as in lecture slides from the 2010 enzo workshop and the HIPACC summer school.  You can also e-mail enzo-users.
