More about Panoply

Since we added this program to our catalog in 2007, it has managed to achieve 876 downloads, and last week it gained 1 download.

Panoply is a slick program that requires less free space than many software in the category Science & Education. It’s very heavily used in United States.

Also provide Windows version which uses 64-bit launcher.Added “Combine” method for working with two arrays in one plot. Acts similar to “Average” option, but if one array’s data point value is NaN, other array’s value is used rather than assign NaN to data point.Re-factored lon-lat map grid spacing to allow non-integral values.Bugfix: Data on simple lat-vert grid recognized but plotting not enabled.Bugfix: (Windows) Cut, copy, paste and select-all in text field non-functional if invoked from menu items rather than as keystrokes.

Panoply is a Java application which plots geo-gridded arrays from netCDF datasets. You can:

• Slice and plot specific latitude-longitude, latitude-vertical, or time-latitude arrays from larger multidimensional variables.
• Combine two arrays in one plot by differencing, summing or averaging.
• Plot lat-lon data on a global map (using any of over 50 global map projections), a regional map, or a zonal average lineplot.
• Overlay continent outlines or masks on lat-lon plots.
• Use any PAL, ACT or CWC color table for scale colorbar.
• Save plots to disk in GIF, PDF, PNG or PS form.
