Code Support
============
Levels of Support for Various Codes
-----------------------------------
yt provides frontends to support several different simulation code formats
as inputs. Below is a list showing what level of support is provided for
each code. See :ref:`loading-data` for examples of loading a dataset from
each supported output format using yt.

.. [#f1] one-dimensional base-state not read in currently.
.. [#f2] These handle mesh fields using an in-memory octree that has not been parallelized.
Datasets larger than approximately 1024^3 will not scale well.
.. [#f3] Newer versions of Castro that use BoxLib's standard particle format are supported.
The older ASCII format is not.
.. [#f4] The Voronoi cells are currently treated as SPH-like particles, with a smoothing
length proportional to the cube root of the cell volume.
.. [#f5] yt provides support for cartesian-gridded CfRadial datasets. Data in native
CFRadial coordinates will be gridded on load, see :ref:`loading-cfradial-data`.
If you have a dataset that uses an output format not yet supported by yt, you
can either input your data following :doc:`../examining/Loading_Generic_Array_Data` or
:doc:`../examining/Loading_Generic_Particle_Data`, or help us by :ref:`creating_frontend`
for this new format.
