<div dir="ltr">Dear Annamalai,<div><br></div><div>I am the author of kuibit, and I would like to highlight that the package is capable of doing what you are looking for,</div><div>including 3D rendering. The package also comes with a lot of examples that you can immediately use for your </div><div>goals. There are already some examples for 2D/3D plots of binary black holes, and you can see an example of</div><div>rendering here: <a href="https://github.com/Sbozzolo/kuibit/tree/experimental/examples">https://github.com/Sbozzolo/kuibit/tree/experimental/examples</a></div><div>where I rendered a 3D movie with the apparent horizons, magnitude of the spins, orbits, and gravitational wave</div><div>strain. You can produce the same movie for your simulation writing 0 lines of code [1].</div><div><br></div><div>As for yt, kuibit can prepare the data so that it is trivial to use it with yt (see GitHub issue </div><div><a href="https://github.com/Sbozzolo/kuibit/issues/18">https://github.com/Sbozzolo/kuibit/issues/18</a>). I've never used yt and I don't even know where to start, but if you<br></div><div>are already familiar with it, you'll be able to use it with kuibit in no time. [2]</div><div><br></div><div>Finally, let me point to the documentation: <a href="https://sbozzolo.github.io/kuibit/">https://sbozzolo.github.io/kuibit/</a>. kuibit is thoroughly documented and </div><div>there are lots of examples and tutorials that will help you get started. In addition to that, we have a kuibit user </div><div>group chat on Telegram (<a href="https://t.me/kuibit">https://t.me/kuibit</a>) where you can ask questions if you find that something is not clear.</div><div><br></div><div>Let me know if you have any questions,</div><div>Gabriele</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>[1] The code is in the experimental branch, so I would actually not recommend using it at the moment because it</div><div>will break in the future. However, you can still see how it is done there and use the stable version of kuibit to </div><div>achieve a similar result. At this point in time, I would recommend NOT using the experimental branch.</div><div><br></div><div>[2] In that case, we would love you to contribute back to kuibit :)</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, May 17, 2021 at 8:05 AM Roland Haas <<a href="mailto:rhaas@illinois.edu">rhaas@illinois.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Hello Annamalai,<br>

please take a look at our wiki:<br>

<br>
Please note that yt support is not currently functional since the<br>
repository linked to no longer exists.<br>
<br>
The most functionally complete packages are likely:<br>
<br>
* SimulationTools<br>
* PostCactus<br>
* Kuibit<br>
<br>
For 3d visualization I think you are pretty much limited to VisIt<br>
unless you convert the HDF5 files into a format understood by other<br>
packages.<br>
<br>
