[yt-users] unit conversions

[Stephanie Tonnesen]

Hi yt-users!

I have what I think should be a relatively simple question.  I am trying to
make a 3D image of a region of a cosmological simulation, and plot points
in the image.  I define my region with box(left_edge,right_edge) where
left_edge and right_edge are in code units.  However, the points that I
read in from an earlier file are in cgs units.  Since the file was written
using yt output, I would like to just let yt do the conversions, but
nothing has units attached.  I want the 3d image to get everything into the
same units.  I feel like there are a few ways I could fix this problem--1)
 tell yt that my points are in cgs units, 2) force the create_scene to be
in cgs units, 3) get yt to tell me the conversion factor from code units to
cgs units.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to do any of these things!

Can someone give me some advice on what to do here?

Thanks!

Stephanie
