[yt-users] Profile plot of a 2d projection FRB object

[John ZuHone]

This is a bit of a long way around, but you could write the FRB to a FITS file and read it in as a dataset. You would get the coordinate system, units, etc., and the whole YT machinery.

Use the export_fits method:

my_frb.export_fits("myfile.fits", fields)

Then:

ds = yt.load("my_file.fits")

I'm not at a computer so I don't remember the exact signature, but it should be in the code and you can check using help(my_frb.export_fits). If you're interested I can write back with more info later.

The other advantage of this is that you can store the data to disk. You'll have to install the AstroPy package.

Don't feel the need to rush with it though, as I made a numpy solution for myself. But I would be interested to see that code.

>>> Also some other things to add as a postscript. Since how the projection works, if I provide weights=None as a keyword argument within the ProjectionPlot object, I get a surface density (g/cm^2). But also a "cylindrical_r" in cm^2 as well. I *think* the way to get around this is to do another projection where weights="ones", get the radius values out of that profile.. and then in matplotlib, useing the surface density array from the former profile, and the radius bin array from the latter... Produce a plot of the surface density as a function of radius from those two arrays (I might check by hand afterwards to see if this does the trick). This seems kinda convoluted so I am wondering if there is an easier way than this.
