DESCRIPTION
Panoply plots geo-gridded arrays of latitude-longitude, latitude-vertical or time-latitude data encoded in netCDF, HDF and GRIB format.
Features include:
- Slice specific 2D arrays from multidimensional variables which have more than two dimensions.
- Combine two arrays in one plot by differencing, summing or averaging.
- Menu of 80+ global and regional map projections for lon-lat plots.
- Draw continents outlines or masks on lon-lat plots.
- Apply any CPT, GGR, PAL, or ACT color table for scale colorbar.
- Save plots to disk using GIF, JPEG, PDF, PNG, PS or TIFF format.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 2.8.4:
- Bugfix: Creating a combination plot via use of the target menu was blocked by a perpetual "busy" message.
-
Watch out for data on projected lon-lat grid but with bad GeoX or GeoY axis.
-
Bugfix: (Mac) Plot-type dialog and plot windows not completely painted when first shown on PowerPC Macs using Java 1.5.0_20 (and possibly other 1.5 JREs).
-
NcArray2D refactored to allow for extracting 2D slice data in chunks if grid is very large (over 10 million data points) in order to avoid blowing out memory usage. For example, global topography at 2' resolution.
-
Added HE4 and HE5 to list of extensions recognized by HDF filename filter. However, this does not necessarily mean that Panoply will recognize and plot data in HDF-EOS datasets.
-
Bugfix: Grid not drawn for lat-vert plots if vert axes was set to grid point index.
-
Watch out for axes values set to NaN; replace with 0.
-
Library: Updated GISS mapping to version 1.3.2.
-
Library: (Mac) Upgrade Quaqua FC to version 6.2.
REQUIREMENTS
- Mac OS X 10.4 or later
- Java 1.5 or later.
