Welcome to ytree.¶
ytree
is a tool for working with merger-tree data from multiple sources.
ytree
is an extension of the yt analysis toolkit
and provides a similar interface for merger-tree data that includes universal
field names, derived fields, and symbolic units. ytree
is able to load in
merger-tree from the following formats:
- Amiga Halo Finder
- Consistent-Trees
- LHaloTree
- Rockstar halo catalogs without consistent-trees
- treefarm
All formats can be resaved with a universal format that
can be reloaded with ytree
. Individual trees for single halos can also be
saved.
I want to make merger-trees!¶
If you have halo catalog data that can be loaded by
yt, then you can use the
treefarm package to create
merger-trees. treefarm was
once a part of ytree
, but is now its own thing.
