[yt-users] Column density plot

[Suoqing JI]

Hi Stephanie,

Maybe you could specify a disk, use BinnedProfile1D to create bins along cylindrical radial ('cylindrical_r'), and do

profile.add_fields(‘cell_mass’, weight=None)

then you could plot profile[‘cell_mass’] vs. profile['cylindrical_r’] and get the 1-D plot the surface density.

Best wishes,
