Panoply is a Java application which plots latitude-longitude, latitude-vertical or time-latitude gridded data contained in netCDF datasets.
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 75+ global and regional map projections for lon-lat plots.
• Draw continents outlines or masks on lon-lat plots.
• Save plots to disk using GIF, PDF, PNG or PS format.
What’s new:
Version 2.6:
• Added vector plotting capability to lon-lat and lat-vert plots.
• Added logarithmic scale option.
• Printing and also PS and PDF file output now always translate grid and contour line opacity to line weight.
• Now checks for boundary variables with indices swapped. (Mac) Datasets Browser looks more like a native app window, especially on OS X Leopard.
• Plot data tables made a bit easier to read.
• Percent differencing combination option removed.
• Bugfix: Background color menu item threw exception when invoked.
• Bugfix: Plotting of irregular lon-lat grids messed up when crossing ±180° longitude.
• Bugfix: Actual NaNs in dataset messed up finding the data min and max.
• Bugfix: Open-file menu command was broken.
• Library: Update netCDF-Java to version 2.2.22.22.
• Library: Update GISS mapping library to version used in G.Projector 1.1.2.
