Panoply

Panoply plots geo-gridded arrays of latitude-longitude, latitude-vertical, or time-latitude data encoded in netCDF, HDF, and GRIB format.

Features

• 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.

• Bug fix: Line plots could be initialized incorrectly if longitude variable present but longitude not an explicit dimension of the plotted variable.
• Refactored scale method (i.e., scalar vs. log10) handling throughout.
• Allow for log axes on either or both axes of line plots.
• Alternative choices of which map plot gridlines are labeled, if labeling available for projection.
• Bug fix: Horizontal line plot window layout changes when second var added.
• Bug fix: Possible index error when initializing for line plot gridder if var is 1D.
• (MacOS) Use Java 9 Desktop handlers if running that Java version.
• Bug fix: (macOS/Java 9) Checkbox-menu-items double-fired if invoked via meta keystroke.
• Better initializing of scale min and max for line plots if data min = data max.
• Library: Updated GISSmap to v. 2.1.5.
• Library: Updated netCDF-Java to v. 4.6.12 (snapshot).
