A python package for analyzing and visualizing volumetric data
The yt Project
yt is an open-source, permissively-licensed python package for analyzing and visualizing volumetric data.
yt supports structured, variable-resolution meshes, unstructured meshes, and discrete or sampled data such as particles. Focused on driving physically-meaningful inquiry, yt has been applied in domains such as astrophysics, seismology, nuclear engineering, molecular dynamics, and oceanography. Composed of a friendly community of users and developers, we want to make it easy to use and develop – we’d love it if you got involved!
We’ve written a method paper you may be interested in; if you use yt in the preparation of a publication, please consider citing it.
