yt.raven.ObliqueFixedResolutionBuffer.open_in_ds9

ObliqueFixedResolutionBuffer.open_in_ds9(field, take_log=True)

This will open a given field in the DS9 viewer.

Displaying fields can often be much easier in an interactive viewer, particularly one as versatile as DS9. This function will pixelize a field and export it to an interactive DS9 package. This requires the numdisplay package, which is a simple download from STSci. Furthermore, it presupposed that it can connect to DS9 – that is, that DS9 is already open.

Parameters :

field : strings

This field will be pixelized and displayed.

take_log : boolean

DS9 seems to have issues with logging fields in-memory. This will pre-log the field before sending it to DS9.
