[yt-users] Cutting region confusion

I haven't done the projection, but changed the disk definition to

disk = pf.h.disk([0.0,0.0,0.0][0.0,0.0,1.0],1.2,0.1925)

(more or less what Nathan suggested) and end up with basically the same
values for the "Ones" count.

I thought that in the disk definition the z input was the total height of
the cylinder?
