[yt-users] Loading ASCII VTK data

[Lukas Bystricky]

Hi all,

I'm trying to load in some data from an ASCII VTK file (attached for
reference) that I created following the guidelines here:
http://www.vtk.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/file-formats.pdf. I can load
this file into Visit and I was hoping that to load it into yt would be as
simple as :

ds = yt.load("lid_driven_cavity_20.vtk")

When I try that however I get the error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "visualization.py", line 3, in <module>
    ds = yt.load("lid_driven_cavity_20.vtk")
  File "C:\Users\Dave\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\yt\convenience.py", line
84, in load
    return candidates[0](*args, **kwargs)
  File
"C:\Users\Dave\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\yt\frontends\athena\data_structures.py",
line 470, in __init__
    Dataset.__init__(self, filename, dataset_type,
units_override=units_override)
  File
"C:\Users\Dave\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\yt\data_objects\static_output.py",
line 190, in __init__
    self._parse_parameter_file()
  File
"C:\Users\Dave\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\yt\frontends\athena\data_structures.py",
line 528, in _parse_parameter_file
    self.domain_left_edge = grid['left_edge']
KeyError: 'left_edge'

Is it possible to load in such a file to yt? If not, since I'm writing my
own data file, how could I edit it to make it readable by yt?

Thanks in advance,

Lukas
