[yt-users] AMR iscontour flux units

Hi all,

I have a question about the calculate_flux function defined for
AMRSurface objects.

The docstrings for calculate_flux note that the returned fluxes are
the code unit area multiplied by the local flux density.

I'm curious what this means for AMR simulations, where the 'area' will
depend on the local resolution.  Does the fluxing calculation account
for that?  What about isocontours that cross level boundaries?

Thanks for your advice,

Nathan
