[yt-users] Creating a sphere based on enclosed mass

[Cameron Hummels]

Hi Daniel,

I don't know of any automatic way of doing this that already exists within
yt.  I think an iterative method where you start with a tiny sphere and
increment the radius until you get the desired mass will be your best bet.
