Thank you for the reply. So currently plot2D and animate2D don’t support this. 
I will use get_array() instead when I need to play with combinations of fields 
then.

One more question I have is if mp.output_efield_x() can be used for a certain 
volume or it always includes the entire simulation region.

Best wishes
Nikolaos

p.s the colormap error might have been due to a problem with a sub process call 
instead of with h5utils itself.

Why not just plot Hz in that case?

As of now, you can’t do multiple components using plot2D.
You can of course do it manually using get_array().

Subject: [Meep-discuss] Multiple field components in plot2D and animate2D


Hello all,



this is probably something relatively simple but I am having trouble including 
multiple field components in the plot2D method and animate2D class (for example 
including both mp.Ex and mp.Ey). Is there a simple way to set this up through 
the user interface?



Thank you very much



Best wishes

Nikolaos



p.s I also tried using mp.to_appeneded and mp.output_efield_  but h5utils gives 
the following error when trying to convert h5 files:



“h5topng error: invalid colormap file”



This error persists in new environments and freshly installed h5utils as well.
