Panoply is a complex Java program that plots raster images of latitude-longitude gridded data contained within netCDF datasets.

Features include:Menu of 30 global map projections.Slice specific latitude-longitude arrays from multidimensional arrays which also have dimensions in altitude, time, etc.

Combine two arrays in one plot by differencing, summing or averaging.Draw continents outlines or overlays on the plot.Save plots to disk as PNG or GIF images.

Here are some key features of "Panoply":

· Select from a menu of over 30 global map projections.
· Slice specific latitude-longitude arrays from multidimensional arrays which also have dimensions in altitude, time, etc.
· Combine two arrays in one plot by differencing, summing or averaging.
· Draw continents outlines or overlays on the plot.
· Apply any PAL, ACT, or CWC color table to plot scale.
· Save plots to disk as PNG or GIF images.


Requirements:

· Mac OS X 10.2 or later and Java 1.3.1 or later.
