[yt-users] Boundary of the data container

Hi yt users,

I have one basic question about the membership of the data container.
For example, I make a sphere data container and try to estimate the
total enclosed mass of the sphere.
However one of the refined cell (grid) is partially enclosed in the sphere.
Does the yt add entire cell (grid) mass into the sphere mass or
estimate the volume fraction of the cell mass and add only this
partial mass?
This question can be also applied for the density profile (r vs density).
What happen one cell extends to multiple binning point?

I would like to clarify my yt analysis.

Thanks in advance,
Junhwan
