Hi Matt,

Thanks for having a look.  It seemed to sample the field OK but then fell
over.

The snippet of code that I run is

 for grid in pf.h.grids:
            grid.set_field_parameter("center", c)
            grid.set_field_parameter("normal", L)
        proj = OffAxisProjectionPlot(pf, L, "RadialVelocity", center='max',
width=(width, 'pc'),
                                     depth=depth, weight_field="Density")

Cheers,
John
