YT is a Julia interface to the Python-based yt analysis toolkit. YT
exposes a number of functionalities from yt. These include:
- Loading of
ytdatasets - Some basic
ytdata objects, such as spheres, regions, covering grids, projections, slices, etc. - Creating in-memory datasets (
load_uniform_grid,load_amr_grids, etc.) - Profile objects
- Slice and projection plots
- Symbolic units, YTArrays, YTQuantities
YT version 0.4 can be installed in Julia version 0.5 or higher. To install it, just run:
Pkg.add("YT")
which will also install the following dependencies (if you don't already have them):
However, for YT to work, yt itself must be installed. YT version 0.4 requires yt version 3.3.1 or higher.
The best ways to install yt are via the install script or via the
Anaconda Python Distribution.
Once YT is installed, either
julia> import YT
to use it as a library, or
julia> using YT
to use it as an application, loading its methods into the current session's namespace.
