[yt-users] grid background for camera snapshot

[Cameron Hummels]

Hi Remy,

Sam or Matt may correct me here, but I don't think that the Camera
interface is currently capable of providing a backdrop like the one from
Matplotlib in that example.  However, you *can* provide a bounding box for
your data, which gives it some context of 3-dimensional space:
http://yt-project.org/doc/cookbook/complex_plots.html#volume-rendering-with-bounding-box-and-overlaid-grids

There is currently development going on in yt 3.0 to enable a more
extensive camera interface which may allow for something like this, but it
will be a few more months before it's ready for use.

I hope this helps.

Cameron
