[yt-users] Particle only plots

[Nathan Goldbaum]

Hi Jeremy,

Right now there isn't a way to do that in yt.  That's something that would
be very nice to add and would probably be a good introductory yt project
for someone who wanted to get more familiar with the codebase.

What you *can* do is take the particle data and plot the positions in a
scatter plot using matplotlib.

Unfortunately I don't have a good example of that right now, but it should
be pretty straightforward.  You just need to read in the x and y particle
position fields and then make a scatter plot using e.g. pyplot.plot().
