Ncview 1.93d  June 13, 2008 -- (C) David W. Pierce

--------------------------------------------------

Overview: What Ncview *is*.

---------------------------

This is the source for "ncview", a X Windows (Release 4 or higher) 

visual browser for netCDF data format files.  Ncview displays a 

2-dimensional, color representation of data in a netCDF file.  You 

can animate the data in time (making simple movies), flip or enlarge 

the picture, scan through various axes, change colormaps, etc.  You

can also plot the data in X-Y plots and then print those, courtesy 

of the SciPlot widget from Robert W. McMullen .

What Ncview *isn't*.

--------------------

Ncview is *not* an analysis package.  There are several excellent 

commercial packages available for that.  Rather, its purpose in life 

is to view movies or simple plots of data stored in netCDF format

files quickly, easily, and simply.  To view your data in a 'movie',

all you do is fire Ncview up and press a couple buttons--that's it!  To

make a plot, just click on the movie!  By contrast, analysis programs 

often require a lot of overhead massaging the data before you can do 

much.

I've tested this on DEC 5000s and DEC Alphas, IBM RS/6000s, SGI

workstations, and Linux machines.  It should also work with Suns now.

If you port it to a new platform, please mail me any changes which 

are required!  

Getting ncview

--------------

The latest version of Ncview is available for anonymous ftp from

cirrus.ucsd.edu:/pub/ncview.

If you can't compile it, and need binaries, e-mail me and I'll 

see if I can find binaries for your platform.
