[yt-users] Problem trying to define a new field

Mon Nov 4 07:53:41 PST 2013

Hi Kearn,

Sorry, that was a typo on my part.  sp should be "sphere".  So, what's
happening here is the following:

I have made a sphere data container with the first line, and now I can
access all of the field data for that sphere.  So for example,
sphere["Density"]
will give me an array of all the densities for all the cells in the sphere.
 Since it's a numpy array, I can get the maximum density in the sphere by
doing:
sphere["Density"].max()

Then, I can figure out which cell is the one that has the maximum density
with:
sphere["Density"] == sphere["Density"].max()

If you print out that line by itself, it will be an array of Trues and
Falses.  Really, it will have only one True value and all the rest will be
Falses.  The point is that this True/False array can then be used as a
filter on any other array of the same shape.  So then, if I do:
my_filter = sphere["Density"] == sphere["Density"].max()

Then,
sphere["Radius"][my_filter]
will be the radius value for the cell that was True in the filter array,
which is the cell with the maximum density.

Does that make sense?
