# QuickView
[](https://github.com/ayenpure/QuickView/actions/workflows/test.yml)
[](https://github.com/ayenpure/QuickView/actions/workflows/package-and-release.yml)
**EAM QuickView** is an open-source, interactive visualization tool
designed for scientists working with the atmospheric component of the
[Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM)](https://e3sm.org/),
known as the E3SM Atmosphere Model (EAM).
Its Python- and [Trame](https://www.kitware.com/trame/)-based
Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides
intuitive access to [ParaView](https://www.paraview.org/)'s
powerful analysis and visualization capabilities, without the steep learning curve.
## Key Features
- Intuitive, minimalist interface tailored for atmospheric modeling.
- Multi-variable visualization with drag-and-drop layout.
- Persistent sessions - pick up where you left off.
- Support for EAM v2, v3, and upcoming v4 output formats.
## Quick Start
- Install and launch the app for [end users](docs/setup/for_end_users.md)
or [app developers](docs/setup/for_app_developers.md).
- Download connectivity files of EAM's cubed-sphere grids from
[Zenodo](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.16908566).
- Optional: download [sample simulation output](https://zenodo.org/records/16922607)
to test the app.
- For EAMv2 and v3 developers and users: if your simulation data files
are *not* the original files written out by the model,
i.e., if your files were generated by NCO, CDO, etc.
check QuickView's [data format requirements](docs/userguide/data_requirements.md).
- For EAMxx developers and users: EAMxx's most recent output format
changes might not have been accommodated. If your run into problems
opening your data files, please check the
[Issues tab on GitHub](https://github.com/ayenpure/QuickView/issues) and
open a new issue if needed.
More detailed descriptions of how to download, install, and use QuickView
can be found in the [documentation](https://quickview.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
