[yt-users] Installation problems and support input formats

[Matthew Turk]

Hi Andrew,

I'm afraid I don't know what caused that error, although it looks an
awful lot like a mixup with zlib somehow.

As far as the other question about formats, I don't think a frontend
has been written for that format yet.  There are two ways to go about
getting the data in:

 * Using some combination of load_uniform_grids, load_amr_grids,
load_particles or load_octree, which take data from in memory and make
a dataset.  This will work for small to medium sized data, and is
great for prototyping.
 * Writing a frontend, the process of which is described in the docs
and code, but which I am (right now) working on streamlining and
making more efficient.  I'd be happy to work with you on getting a
frontend written for ExodusII.  Maybe ping me on IRC or off-list, and
we can iterate?  Finite Element support is still somewhat preliminary
and is definitely suitable for qualitative visualization and
quantitative analysis, but the caveats are important so as to avoid
over-interpreting results.  I will be writing some of this up for the
documentation for our next release.
