M Y T H is a multipurpose YT-rendering code especially designed
to compile "yt volume rendering" (https://yt-project.org/).
MYTH currently supports the output of a hydro code PLUTO in dbl format for both uniform and nonuniform grid distributions. We aim to provide supports for other formats in its future release. Design of the MYTH code is such that it can be generalized to read hydro variables (e.g., density) from the fluid as well as kinetic plasma simulations.
To see some tests, click on "TestRun".
Please note, the MYTH code is neither connected with the yt community nor it wants to violate any copyright of the yt-project. The main intention of developing MYTH is to provide a simple user-friendly interface to compile yt-rendering. Users are strongly encouraged to include references for both the yt-project and MYTH if this code is used.
After successful installation, you may wish to run a test job.
For installation guide, please download MYTH from the Download tab and then follow all steps in READ.md.
Test run can be performed as follows.
In MYTH/test/plutodata_neqg/, sample data files (data.0004.dbl,grid.out,stars.0004.txt) are provided. Data is in 3D cartesian coordinate, nx*ny*nz = 200*60*80.
Open terminal and go to the MYTH directory and then type
cd src
Look into user_input.py file. You will notice:
InputPath = "../test/plutodata_neqg/".
OutputPath = "../test/myth-pluto-neqg/".
It means, if you run MYTH then it will generate output at ../test/myth-pluto-neqg/.
To run MYTH, use the following command on the terminal (note: your current directory is 'src'):
python myth.py
Please wait. It will take a while (for this test it may take ~ 2 min).
After all steps, when you will see a Thank you message, you may look into
your MYTH/test/myth-pluto-neqg/, which must contain the following files:
checkinput0004.png: z=0 slice of input data file
unigriddata0004.txt: Interpolated data with user's specified resolution.
checkdump0004.png: z=0 slice of interpolated data file
volren0004-transferfunction.png: Density transfer function. Note: label may not be correct.
volren0004.0001.png: Final output
Output will look as
You may download it from https://github.com/gupta-siddhartha/MYTH
or
by using the following command in your terminal (recommended):
git clone git@github.com:gupta-siddhartha/MYTH.git
