.. py:function:: animate_slices_compareruns(field='uu1', datadir1='data/', datadir2='data/', proc=-1, extension='xz', format='native', tmin=0.0, tmax=1e+38, wait=0.0, amin=0.0, amax=1.0, transform='', oldfile=False, makemovie=False)

   read 2D slice files from two different runs
   note that the runs must have same precision and sizes

   Options:

    field --- which variable to slice
    datadir1 --- path to data directory of first simulation
    datadir2 --- path to data directory of second imulation
    proc --- an integer giving the processor to read a slice from
    extension --- which plane of xy,xz,yz,Xz. for 2D this should be overwritten.
    format --- endian. one of little, big, or native (default)
    tmin --- start time
    tmax --- end time
    amin --- minimum value for image scaling
    amax --- maximum value for image scaling
    transform --- insert arbitrary numerical code to modify the slice
    wait --- pause in seconds between animation slices
    makemovie --- assemble an animation if makemovie option is set
