[yt-users] set_xlim problem in ProfilePlot

[Nathan Goldbaum]

Hi Chuhong,

Thank you for the report about this. I think the current behavior violates
the principle of least surprise. I've gone ahead and filed a pull request
that should fix this issue:

https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/pull-requests/2546

There is a sort of hacky workaround for this issue that will work with the
current version of yt without my pull request. Take a look at the following
example, which uses a test dataset available at yt-project.org/data if you
want to try running it yourself:

Hope that's helpful,

Nathan
