Panoply 2.8.1
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, PDF, PNG or PS format.
WHAT’S NEW
Version 2.8.1:
- Added ability to open GRIB datasets. However, cannot plot data therein unless it is tagged according to a known netCDF convention.
- Altered PlotFrame class to no longer re-use closed plot windows but to dispose of them entirely and create new ones from scratch. An old memory leak issue in Apple’s Java related to the screen-top menu bar has been fixed at some point in the last few years.
- Library: Updated netCDF Java to version 4.0.48.2.
- Library: Updated Quaqua FC to version 5.4.
- Bugfix: (Mac) Could not launch on OS X 10.4 due to query for system property first defined in 10.5 and due to null font in spacing components.
REQUIREMENTS
- Mac OS X 10.4 or later
- Java 1.5 or later.
