    Hi John,<br>
    <br>
    Thanks for hinting me to ds.ortho_ray. This is what I meant :-)<br>
    <br>
    Btw, For a different anaylsis I would need to understand how the
    yt.box command works. Does it contain all the cells which have their
    center between the left and right boundaries or only cells which
    have both their center and edges between the specified left and
    right boundaries?</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>It will contain all the cells that have centers between the left and right edge.<span></span></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"><br></div><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"><br>

      <div>BTW, since you use this module a lot, I should
        probably point out here that there will be no further

        documentation for me to have an official release. It will be the
        same software as the yt version with some minor adjustments. If
        you want to try it, mail me off-list and I can tell you how to

      <div>The version currently in yt will stay there for the

              <div>Hi John,<br>
                <br>
                Thanks for your fast reply. So generally we are trying
                to make a mock spectrum of a galaxy cluster around the
                iron line. I enclosed the script I use, but maybe it is
                not of a big help as I just started doing this. You are
                probably right that I should youse ds.region. What I
                wanted to do is selecting a line of sight which is only
                one cell wide (native resolution of the simulation) but
                e.g. 1 Mpc deep.<br>
                <br>
                Cheers,<br>
                Markus<br>

                  Can you send a script so I can figure out what you are

                  You probably need ds.region, but if you send a script

                    Hi,<br>
                    <br>
                    I wanted to use the photon simulator for mock x-ray
                    observations on single cells and line of sights
                    using single cells. For this I wanted to select the
                    cells using covering_grid, but then I get the
                    following error:<br>
                    <br>
                    photon_simulator.py is doing<br>
                    delta_min, delta_max =
                    data_source.quantities.extrema("d%s"%ax)<br>
                    and the result is<br>
                    YTDataSelectorNotImplemented: Data selector
                    'covering_grid' not implemented.<br>
                    <br>
                    But maybe covering_grid is not the right thing for
                    what I had in mind, how would you select the cells
                    to pass as data_source to the photon simulator?<br>
                    <br>
