[yt-users] Type issues with grids

Thanks Nathan,

I’m guessing you mean to cast the ‘im’ variable. The line in his script is:

> nim = cam.draw_grids(im)


so this should become:

nim = cam.draw_grids(im.astype('int64’))

??

I’ll ask him to try that. I’ll also post this to the bug tracker!

thanks for the tip!
