LightCone.project_light_cone(field_of_view, image_resolution, field, weight_field=None, photon_field=False, save_stack=True, save_final_image=True, save_slice_images=False, cmap_name=None, njobs=1, dynamic=False)

Create projections for light cone, then add them together.

Parameters:

• field_of_view (YTQuantity or tuple of (float, str)) – The field of view of the image and the units.

• image_resolution (YTQuantity or tuple of (float, str)) – The size of each image pixel and the units.

• field (string) – The projected field.

• weight_field (string) – the weight field of the projection. This has the same meaning as in standard projections. Default: None.

• photon_field (bool) – if True, the projection data for each slice is decremented by 4 Pi R^2`, where R is the luminosity distance between the observer and the slice redshift. Default: False.

• save_stack (bool) – if True, the light cone data including each individual slice is written to an hdf5 file. Default: True.

• save_final_image (bool) – if True, save an image of the final light cone projection. Default: True.

• save_slice_images (bool) – save images for each individual projection slice. Default: False.

• cmap_name (string) – color map for images. Default: your default colormap.

• njobs (int) – The number of parallel jobs over which the light cone projection will be split. Choose -1 for one processor per individual projection and 1 to have all processors work together on each projection. Default: 1.

• dynamic (bool) – If True, use dynamic load balancing to create the projections. Default: False.
