ytree.data_structures.tree_node_selector.TreeNodeSelector

class ytree.data_structures.tree_node_selector.TreeNodeSelector(function, args=None, kwargs=None)[source]

The TreeNodeSelector is responsible for choosing which one of a halo’s ancestors to return when querying the line of main progenitors for a halo.

Parameters:
  • ancestors (list of TreeNode objects) – List of TreeNode objects from which to select.
  • function should return a single TreeNode. (The) –

Examples

>>> import ytree
>>> def max_value(ancestors, field):
...     vals = np.array([a[field] for a in ancestors])
...     return ancestors[np.argmax(vals)]
>>> ytree.add_tree_node_selector("max_field_value", max_value)
>>> a = ytree.load("tree_0_0_0.dat")
>>> a.set_selector("max_field_value", "mass")
>>> print (a[0]["prog"])
