yt Overview¶
yt is a community-developed analysis and visualization toolkit for volumetric data. yt has been applied mostly to astrophysical simulation data, but it can be applied to many different types of data including seismology, radio telescope data, weather simulations, and nuclear engineering simulations. yt is developed in Python under the open-source model.
yt supports many different code formats, and we provide sample data for each format with instructions on how to load and examine each data type.
