Hello Julia-users, I wanted to take the opportunity to inform the community of a new package I've written, YT.jl.
yt (http://yt-project.org) is a Python package for analyzing and visualizing volumetric, multi-resolution data from astrophysical simulations, radio telescopes, and a burgeoning interdisciplinary community. yt is more than a visualization package: it is a tool to seamlessly handle simulation output files to make analysis simple. yt aims to provide a simple uniform way of handling volumetric data, regardless of where it is generated. yt currently supports such astrophysical data formats as FLASH, Enzo, Boxlib, Athena, arbitrary volumes, and support is in progress for Gadget, Tipsy, ART, RAMSES and MOAB. The YT.jl package seeks to expose a number of yt's most important features from within the Julia environment. These include: * Volumetric "data containers": spheres, rectangular regions, slices, projections, profiles, etc. * YTArrays and YTQuantities, which are arrays and real numbers associated with symbolic units, and associated mathematical operations on them * Simple visualization tools, such as generating fixed resolution images from non-fixed resolution data, and Matplotlib-based slice and projection plots To find out more about the YT.jl package, visit the documentation: http://www.jzuhone.com/yt_julia or the GitHub project page: http://github.com/jzuhone/YT.jl Thanks for reading, and sorry for the spam. Best, John ZuHone
