[yt-users] getting the average density inside a data container

Hi Kearn,

I believe the issue with the region is that the arguments are center, left
corner, right corner.  Each of those needs to be a triple.

On the other issue, is AveragedDensity a field you created?  If not, I
don't believe it exists.  If you want to take the average inside some
object, you should do something like:
object.quantities["WeightedAverageQuantity"](field, weight_field)
