[yt-users] SlicePlot y-axis problem

[Matthew Turk]

Hi Caroline,

Thanks for writing, and sorry that it's not working.  Don't worry too
much about sending the data.  I'm sorry to hear that it's hanging and
not responding, which isn't behavior we have often seen.  Here are a
couple questions that will help us figure out how things might have
gone wrong.

 * Did you run this via a script that you wrote?  If you, could you
run the command:

yt pastebin that_script.py

where "that_script.py" is the filename?  That will give a URL, which
you can include in a reply so we can see it.

 * What output do you see on screen up to the point where the execution hangs?
 * How did you install yt?
 * Is there one particular piece of sample data that we can run the
script you paste'd (above) on to see the behavior?
 * Have you made any changes to your installation -- for instance, to
your matplotlib installation?
 * When it's hung, if you press Ctrl-C so that execution terminates,
what is output to the screen?  It should look like a traceback, where
various functions and routines are listed in order and at the bottom
it will say something like "KeyboardInterrupt"

Thanks very much, and let's see if we can get this working for you.  :)

-Matt
