[yt-users] Flash Units

Hi,

I'm moving some of my plotting scripts to yt 3.0, and I think some 
things about the units might have changed.

There is one thing which puzzles me about the units using the Flash 
frontend. My Flash simulation is a 60 Mpccm/h volume.

If I do

In [32]: ff.domain_width

I get

Out[32]: YTArray([  2.75876444e+26,   2.75876444e+26,   2.75876444e+26]) code_length

which is the size of my 60 Mpccm/h in cm (I used h 0.6711). However, if I do

In [40]: ff.domain_width.units

it says

Out[40]: code_length

but code_length has the following properties

Unit name:      code_length

CGS conversion: 0.664629553446

Dimensions:     (length)

so I think the CGS conversion should be 1. The factor 0.6646 is close to 
my value of h, but not exactly h. Where could things go wrong?

Cheers,
Markus
