Experimental features

Seamless plugin support

new in yt 4.2 (unreleased) + yt_idefix 0.16

yt>=4.2 supports automatic loading for external frontends, i.e., the extra import line (import yt_idefix) will not be needed with this version.

This feature is marked as experimental until yt 4.2.0 is released. In the mean time, this feature can be enabled by installing yt from source as, i.e.,

python -m pip install git+https://github.com/yt-project/yt.git

Strecthed grids support

new in yt 4.1 + yt_idefix 0.12

• yt_idefix>=0.12.0 natively supports yt.SlicePlot for streched grids
• yt>=4.1.0 is required from yt.ProjectionPlot

Streched grids support is considered experimental as of yt 4.1
