Hi Stephanie,

Hilary Egan (on this mailing list) has a BitBucket repo with the code she
used in her paper, which will do what you've requested or at least get you
most of the way there.  It's not publicly available, but it should be
usable for you (though it might need to be updated to yt-3).  Hopefully she
can share that with you!
