[yt-users] Particle Fields Deposition

[Bili Dong]

Hi yt users,

Recently I started using yt to analyze a Gadget-like data (one of the main difference being a different kernel function).  I’ve got several questions about the fields depostion mechanism:

1. How do I get the information of the underlying mesh onto which the fields are deposited?
2. Can I specify the properties of the underlying mesh? If so, how?
3. Can I customize the smoothing process, like using a different smoothing kernel? 
4. I’m looking into the file yt/geometry/particle_smooth.pyx to learn the implementation details of the smoothing process. But for me, the code is not easy to read. So I’m wondering if there are further documentations I could refer to? (The only relevant doc I find for now is this one <http://yt-project.org/docs/dev/analyzing/fields.html#general-particle-fields>)

I’m new to yt, so these questions might be dumb. Sorry for wasting your time if that’s the case.

Thanks,
Bili
