[yt-users] Total Active Particles?

[David Collins]

Cool.  I may try my hand at such an object.

The problem with doing something like ad['CenOstriker','creation_time'] is
that if there are no particles it raises an error, so for smooth flying I'd
need to put it in a try/except, but that's not a huge deal.


Thanks!
