This is a simple mechanism for interfacing with Profile and Phase plots

class yt.visualization.profile_plotter.AxesContainer(plots)[source]¶

Bases: collections.OrderedDict

clear() → None. Remove all items from od.¶

copy() → a shallow copy of od¶

fromkeys(S[, v]) → New ordered dictionary with keys from S.¶

If not specified, the value defaults to None.

get(k[, d]) → D[k] if k in D, else d. d defaults to None.¶

Bases: yt.visualization.plot_container.ImagePlotContainer

Create a 2d profile (phase) plot from a data source or from profile object created with yt.data_objects.profiles.create_profile.

Given a data object (all_data, region, sphere, etc.), an x field, y field, and z field (or fields), this will create a two-dimensional profile of the average (or total) value of the z field in bins of the x and y fields.

Parameters:

data_source (YTSelectionContainer Object) – The data object to be profiled, such as all_data, region, or sphere. x_field (str) – The x binning field for the profile. y_field (str) – The y binning field for the profile. z_fields (str or list) – The field or fields to be profiled. weight_field (str) – The weight field for calculating weighted averages. If None, the profile values are the sum of the field values within the bin. Otherwise, the values are a weighted average. Default : “cell_mass”. x_bins (int) – The number of bins in x field for the profile. Default: 128. y_bins (int) – The number of bins in y field for the profile. Default: 128. 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. 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. fontsize (int) – Font size for all text in the plot. Default: 18. figure_size (int) – Size in inches of the image. Default: 8 (8x8)

Bases: object

Create a 1d profile plot from a data source or from a list of profile objects.

Given a data object (all_data, region, sphere, etc.), an x field, and a y field (or fields), this will create a one-dimensional profile of the average (or total) value of the y field in bins of the x field.

This can be used to create profiles from given fields or to plot multiple profiles created from yt.data_objects.profiles.create_profile.

Parameters:

data_source (YTSelectionContainer Object) – The data object to be profiled, such as all_data, region, or sphere. x_field (str) – The binning field for the profile. y_fields (str or list) – The field or fields to be profiled. weight_field (str) – The weight field for calculating weighted averages. If None, the profile values are the sum of the field values within the bin. Otherwise, the values are a weighted average. Default : “cell_mass”. n_bins (int) – The number of bins in the profile. Default: 64. accumulation (bool) – If True, the profile values for a bin N are the cumulative sum of all the values from bin 0 to N. 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. label (str or list of strings) – If a string, the label to be put on the line plotted. If a list, this should be a list of labels for each profile to be overplotted. Default: None. plot_spec (dict or list of dicts) – A dictionary or list of dictionaries containing plot keyword arguments. For example, dict(color=”red”, linestyle=”:”). Default: None. x_log (bool) – If not None, whether the x_axis should be plotted with a logarithmic scaling. Default: None y_log (dict) – A dictionary containing field:boolean pairs, setting the logarithmic property for that field. May be overridden after instantiation using set_log. Default: None

Examples

>>> ad = ds.all_data()
>>> plot = ProfilePlot(ad, "density", ["temperature", "velocity_x"],
