Loading and Examining Data¶

Nominally, one should just be able to run yt.load() on a dataset and start computing; however, there may be additional notes associated with different data formats as described below. Furthermore, we provide methods for loading data from unsupported data formats in Loading Generic Array Data, Loading Generic Particle Data, and Loading Spherical Data. Lastly, if you want to examine the raw data for your particular dataset, visit Low-Level Data Inspection: Accessing Raw Data.
