class yt.frontends.adaptahop.data_structures.AdaptaHOPDataset(filename=None, *args, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: Dataset

add_deposited_particle_field(deposit_field, method, kernel_name='cubic', weight_field=None)

Add a new deposited particle field

Creates a new deposited field based on the particle deposit_field.

Parameters:
  • deposit_field (tuple) – The field name tuple of the particle field the deposited field will be created from. This must be a field name tuple so yt can appropriately infer the correct particle type.

  • method (string) – This is the “method name” which will be looked up in the particle_deposit namespace as methodname_deposit. Current methods include simple_smooth, sum, std, cic, weighted_mean, nearest and count.

  • kernel_name (string, default 'cubic') – This is the name of the smoothing kernel to use. It is only used for the simple_smooth method and is otherwise ignored. Current supported kernel names include cubic, quartic, quintic, wendland2, wendland4, and wendland6.

  • weight_field ((field_type, field_name) or None) – Weighting field name for deposition method weighted_mean. If None, use the particle mass.

Return type:

The field name tuple for the newly created field.

add_field(name, function, sampling_type, *, force_override=False, **kwargs)

Dataset-specific call to add_field

Add a new field, along with supplemental metadata, to the list of available fields. This respects a number of arguments, all of which are passed on to the constructor for DerivedField.

Parameters:
  • name (str) – is the name of the field.

  • function (callable) – A function handle that defines the field. Should accept arguments (field, data)

  • sampling_type (str) – “cell” or “particle” or “local”

  • force_override (bool) – If False (default), an error will be raised if a field of the same name already exists.

  • units (str) – A plain text string encoding the unit. Powers must be in python syntax (** instead of ^).

  • take_log (bool) – Describes whether the field should be logged

  • validators (list) – A list of FieldValidator objects

  • vector_field (bool) – Describes the dimensionality of the field. Currently unused.

  • display_name (str) – A name used in the plots

  • force_override – Whether to override an existing derived field. Does not work with on-disk fields.

add_gradient_fields(fields=None)

Add gradient fields.

Creates four new grid-based fields that represent the components of the gradient of an existing field, plus an extra field for the magnitude of the gradient. The gradient is computed using second-order centered differences.

Parameters:

fields (str or tuple(str, str), or a list of the previous) – Label(s) for at least one field. Can either represent a tuple (<field type>, <field fname>) or simply the field name. Warning: several field types may match the provided field name, in which case the first one discovered internally is used.

Return type:

A list of field name tuples for the newly created fields.

Raises:
  • YTFieldNotParsable – If fields are not parsable to yt field keys.

  • YTFieldNotFound : – If at least one field can not be identified.

Examples

>>> grad_fields = ds.add_gradient_fields(("gas", "density"))
>>> print(grad_fields)
... [
...     ("gas", "density_gradient_x"),
...     ("gas", "density_gradient_y"),
...     ("gas", "density_gradient_z"),
...     ("gas", "density_gradient_magnitude"),
... ]

Note that the above example assumes ds.geometry == ‘cartesian’. In general, the function will create gradient components along the axes of the dataset coordinate system. For instance, with cylindrical data, one gets ‘density_gradient_<r,theta,z>’

add_mesh_sampling_particle_field(sample_field, ptype='all')

Add a new mesh sampling particle field

Creates a new particle field which has the value of the deposit_field at the location of each particle of type ptype.

Parameters:
  • sample_field (tuple) – The field name tuple of the mesh field to be deposited onto the particles. This must be a field name tuple so yt can appropriately infer the correct particle type.

  • ptype (string, default 'all') – The particle type onto which the deposition will occur.

Return type:

The field name tuple for the newly created field.

Examples

>>> ds = yt.load("output_00080/info_00080.txt")
... ds.add_mesh_sampling_particle_field(("gas", "density"), ptype="all")
>>> print("The density at the location of the particle is:")
... print(ds.r["all", "cell_gas_density"])
The density at the location of the particle is:
[9.33886124e-30 1.22174333e-28 1.20402333e-28 ... 2.77410331e-30
 8.79467609e-31 3.50665136e-30] g/cm**3
>>> len(ds.r["all", "cell_gas_density"]) == len(ds.r["all", "particle_ones"])
True
add_particle_filter(filter)

Add particle filter to the dataset.

Add filter to the dataset and set up relevant derived_field. It will also add any filtered_type that the filter depends on.

The returned YTArray will be dimensionless by default, but can be cast to arbitrary units using the units keyword argument.

Parameters:
  • input_array (Iterable) – A tuple, list, or array to attach units to

  • units (String unit specification, unit symbol or astropy object) – The units of the array. Powers must be specified using python syntax (cm**3, not cm^3).

  • input_units (Deprecated in favor of 'units') –

  • dtype (string or NumPy dtype object) – The dtype of the returned array data

Examples

>>> import yt
>>> import numpy as np
>>> ds = yt.load("IsolatedGalaxy/galaxy0030/galaxy0030")
>>> a = ds.arr([1, 2, 3], "cm")
>>> b = ds.arr([4, 5, 6], "m")

property backup_filename
property basename
box(left_edge, right_edge, **kwargs)

box is a wrapper to the Region object for creating a region without having to specify a center value. It assumes the center is the midpoint between the left_edge and right_edge.

Keyword arguments are passed to the initializer of the YTRegion object (e.g. ds.region).

property checksum

Computes md5 sum of a dataset.

Note: Currently this property is unable to determine a complete set of files that are a part of a given dataset. As a first approximation, the checksum of parameter_file is calculated. In case parameter_file is a directory, checksum of all files inside the directory is calculated.

apply_units(arr, units)
argmax(field, axis=None)

Return the values at which the field is maximized.

This will, in a parallel-aware fashion, find the maximum value and then return to you the values at that maximum location that are requested for “axis”. By default it will return the spatial positions (in the natural coordinate system), but it can be any field

Parameters:
  • field (string or tuple field name) – The field to maximize.

  • axis (string or list of strings, optional) – If supplied, the fields to sample along; if not supplied, defaults to the coordinate fields. This can be the name of the coordinate fields (i.e., ‘x’, ‘y’, ‘z’) or a list of fields, but cannot be 0, 1, 2.

Return type:

A list of YTQuantities as specified by the axis argument.

Examples

>>> temp_at_max_rho = reg.argmax(
...     ("gas", "density"), axis=("gas", "temperature")
... )

>>> t_mrho, v_mrho = reg.argmax(
...     ("gas", "density"),
...     axis=[("gas", "temperature"), ("gas", "velocity_magnitude")],
... )
>>> x, y, z = reg.argmax(("gas", "density"))
argmin(field, axis=None)

Return the values at which the field is minimized.

This will, in a parallel-aware fashion, find the minimum value and then return to you the values at that minimum location that are requested for “axis”. By default it will return the spatial positions (in the natural coordinate system), but it can be any field

Parameters:
  • field (string or tuple field name) – The field to minimize.

  • axis (string or list of strings, optional) – If supplied, the fields to sample along; if not supplied, defaults to the coordinate fields. This can be the name of the coordinate fields (i.e., ‘x’, ‘y’, ‘z’) or a list of fields, but cannot be 0, 1, 2.

property blocks
chunks(fields, chunking_style, **kwargs)
clear_data()

Clears out all data from the YTDataContainer instance, freeing memory.

clone()

Clone a data object.

This will make a duplicate of a data object; note that the field_parameters may not necessarily be deeply-copied. If you modify the field parameters in-place, it may or may not be shared between the objects, depending on the type of object that that particular field parameter is.

Notes

One use case for this is to have multiple identical data objects that are being chunked over in different orders.

Examples

>>> ds = yt.load("IsolatedGalaxy/galaxy0030/galaxy0030")
>>> sp = ds.sphere("c", 0.1)
>>> sp_clone = sp.clone()
>>> sp[("gas", "density")]
>>> print(sp.field_data.keys())

This function links a region of data stored in a yt dataset to the Python frontend API for [Firefly](http://github.com/ageller/Firefly), a browser-based particle visualization tool.

Parameters:
  • datadir (string) – Path to where any .json files should be saved. If a relative path will assume relative to ${HOME}. A value of None will default to ${HOME}/Data.

  • fields_to_include (array_like of strings or field tuples) – A list of fields that you want to include in your Firefly visualization for on-the-fly filtering and colormapping.

  • default_decimation_factor (integer) – The factor by which you want to decimate each particle group by (e.g. if there are 1e7 total particles in your simulation you might want to set this to 100 at first). Randomly samples your data like shuffled_data[::decimation_factor] so as to not overtax a system. This is adjustable on a per particle group basis by changing the returned reader’s reader.particleGroup[i].decimation_factor before calling reader.writeToDisk().

  • velocity_units (string) – The units that the velocity should be converted to in order to show streamlines in Firefly. Defaults to km/s.

  • coordinate_units (string) – The units that the coordinates should be converted to. Defaults to kpc.

  • show_unused_fields (boolean) – A flag to optionally print the fields that are available, in the dataset but were not explicitly requested to be tracked.

  • match_any_particle_types (boolean) – If True, when any of the fields_to_include match multiple particle groups then the field will be added for all matching particle groups. If False, an error is raised when encountering an ambiguous field. Default is True.

  • to (Any additional keyword arguments are passed) –

  • firefly.data_reader.Reader.__init__

Returns:

reader – A reader object from the Firefly, configured to output the current region selected

max(field, axis=None)

Compute the maximum of a field, optionally along an axis.

This will, in a parallel-aware fashion, compute the maximum of the given field. Supplying an axis will result in a return value of a YTProjection, with method ‘max’ for maximum intensity. If the max has already been requested, it will use the cached extrema value.

Compute the mean of a field, optionally along an axis, with a weight.

This will, in a parallel-aware fashion, compute the mean of the given field. If an axis is supplied, it will return a projection, where the weight is also supplied. By default the weight field will be “ones” or “particle_ones”, depending on the field being averaged, resulting in an unweighted average.

Parameters:

min(field, axis=None)

Compute the minimum of a field.

This will, in a parallel-aware fashion, compute the minimum of the given field. Supplying an axis will result in a return value of a YTProjection, with method ‘min’ for minimum intensity. If the min has already been requested, it will use the cached extrema value.

Parameters:
  • field (string or tuple field name) – The field to minimize.

property pf
profile(bin_fields, fields, n_bins=64, extrema=None, logs=None, units=None, weight_field=('gas', 'mass'), accumulation=False, fractional=False, deposition='ngp')

Create a 1, 2, or 3D profile object from this data_source.

The dimensionality of the profile object is chosen by the number of fields given in the bin_fields argument. This simply calls yt.data_objects.profiles.create_profile().

Parameters:
  • bin_fields (list of strings) – List of the binning fields for profiling.

  • fields (list of strings) – The fields to be profiled.

  • n_bins (int or list of ints) – The number of bins in each dimension. If None, 64 bins for each bin are used for each bin field. Default: 64.

  • extrema (dict of min, max tuples) – Minimum and maximum values of the bin_fields for the profiles. The keys correspond to the field names. Defaults to the extrema of the bin_fields of the dataset. If a units dict is provided, extrema are understood to be in the units specified in the dictionary.

  • logs (dict of boolean values) – Whether or not to log the bin_fields for the profiles. The keys correspond to the field names. Defaults to the take_log attribute of the field.

  • units (dict of strings) – The units of the fields in the profiles, including the bin_fields.

  • weight_field (str or tuple field identifier) – The weight field for computing weighted average for the profile values. If None, the profile values are sums of the data in each bin.

  • accumulation (bool or list of bools) – If True, the profile values for a bin n are the cumulative sum of all the values from bin 0 to n. If -True, the sum is reversed so that the value for bin n is the cumulative sum from bin N (total bins) to n. If the profile is 2D or 3D, a list of values can be given to control the summation in each dimension independently. Default: False.

  • fractional (If True the profile values are divided by the sum of all) – the profile data such that the profile represents a probability distribution function.

  • deposition (Controls the type of deposition used for ParticlePhasePlots.) – Valid choices are ‘ngp’ and ‘cic’. Default is ‘ngp’. This parameter is ignored the if the input fields are not of particle type.

Examples

Return type:

Scalar

Examples

>>> rho_range = reg.ptp(("gas", "density"))
save_as_dataset(filename=None, fields=None)

Export a data object to a reloadable yt dataset.

This function will take a data object and output a dataset containing either the fields presently existing or fields given in the fields list. The resulting dataset can be reloaded as a yt dataset.

Parameters:
  • filename (str, optional) – The name of the file to be written. If None, the name will be a combination of the original dataset and the type of data container.

  • fields (list of string or tuple field names, optional) – If this is supplied, it is the list of fields to be saved to disk. If not supplied, all the fields that have been queried will be saved.

Returns:

filename – The name of the file that has been created.

Return type:

str

Examples

>>> import yt
>>> ds = yt.load("enzo_tiny_cosmology/DD0046/DD0046")
>>> sp = ds.sphere(ds.domain_center, (10, "Mpc"))
>>> fn = sp.save_as_dataset(fields=[("gas", "density"), ("gas", "temperature")])
>>> sphere_ds = yt.load(fn)
>>> # the original data container is available as the data attribute
>>> print(sds.data[("gas", "density")])

set_field_parameter(name, val)

Here we set up dictionaries that get passed up and down and ultimately to derived fields.

std(field, axis=None, weight=None)

Compute the standard deviation of a field, optionally along an axis, with a weight.

This will, in a parallel-ware fashion, compute the standard deviation of the given field. If an axis is supplied, it will return a projection, where the weight is also supplied.

By default the weight field will be “ones” or “particle_ones”, depending on the field, resulting in an unweighted standard deviation.

Parameters:
  • field (string or tuple field name) – The field to calculate the standard deviation of

  • axis (string, optional) – If supplied, the axis to compute the standard deviation along (i.e., to project along)

  • weight (string, optional) – The field to use as a weight.

Return type:

Scalar or YTProjection.

sum(field, axis=None)

Compute the sum of a field, optionally along an axis.

This will, in a parallel-aware fashion, compute the sum of the given field. If an axis is specified, it will return a projection (using method type “sum”, which does not take into account path length) along that axis.

Parameters:
  • field (string or tuple field name) – The field to sum.

  • axis (string, optional) – If supplied, the axis to sum along.

Return type:

Either a scalar or a YTProjection.

Examples

>>> total_vol = reg.sum("cell_volume")
>>> cell_count = reg.sum(("index", "ones"), axis=("index", "x"))
property tiles
to_astropy_table(fields)

Export region data to a :class:~astropy.table.table.QTable, which is a Table object which is unit-aware. The QTable can then be exported to an ASCII file, FITS file, etc.

See the AstroPy Table docs for more details: http://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/table/

Parameters:

fields (list of strings or tuple field names) – This is the list of fields to be exported into the QTable.

Examples

>>> sp = ds.sphere("c", (1.0, "Mpc"))
>>> t = sp.to_astropy_table([("gas", "density"), ("gas", "temperature")])
to_dataframe(fields)

Export a data object to a DataFrame.

This function will take a data object and an optional list of fields and export them to a DataFrame object. If pandas is not importable, this will raise ImportError.

Parameters:

fields (list of strings or tuple field names) – This is the list of fields to be exported into the DataFrame.

Returns:

df – The data contained in the object.

Return type:

DataFrame

Examples

>>> dd = ds.all_data()
>>> df = dd.to_dataframe([("gas", "density"), ("gas", "temperature")])
to_glue(fields, label='yt', data_collection=None)

Takes specific fields in the container and exports them to Glue (http://glueviz.org) for interactive analysis. Optionally add a label. If you are already within the Glue environment, you can pass a data_collection object, otherwise Glue will be started.

write_out(filename, fields=None, format='%0.16e')

Write out the YTDataContainer object in a text file.

This function will take a data object and produce a tab delimited text file containing the fields presently existing and the fields given in the fields list.

Parameters:
  • filename (String) – The name of the file to write to.

  • fields (List of string, Default = None) – If this is supplied, these fields will be added to the list of fields to be saved to disk. If not supplied, whatever fields presently exist will be used.

  • format (String, Default = "%0.16e") – Format of numbers to be written in the file.

Raises:
  • ValueError – Raised when there is no existing field.

  • YTException – Raised when field_type of supplied fields is inconsistent with the field_type of existing fields.

Examples

>>> ds = fake_particle_ds()
>>> sp = ds.sphere(ds.domain_center, 0.25)
>>> sp.write_out("sphere_1.txt")
>>> sp.write_out("sphere_2.txt", fields=["cell_volume"])
class yt.frontends.adaptahop.data_structures.AdaptaHOPParticleIndex(ds, dataset_type)[source]

Bases: ParticleIndex

property chunksize
comm = None
convert(unit)
property data_files
get_data(node, name)

Return the dataset with a given name located at node in the datafile.

get_dependencies(fields)
get_smallest_dx()

Returns (in code units) the smallest cell size in the simulation.

partition_index_2d(axis)
partition_index_3d(ds, padding=0.0, rank_ratio=1)
partition_index_3d_bisection_list()

Returns an array that is used to drive _partition_index_3d_bisection, below.

partition_region_3d(left_edge, right_edge, padding=0.0, rank_ratio=1)

Given a region, it subdivides it into smaller regions for parallel analysis.

save_data(array, node, name, set_attr=None, force=False, passthrough=False)

Arbitrary numpy data will be saved to the region in the datafile described by node and name. If data file does not exist, it throws no error and simply does not save.
