This icon is used for the visualisation of netCDF files. It allows the user to specify which variables in the file should be used, and how to interpret them. It belongs to the set of visualiser icons - see Visualisers.

The macro language equivalent is netcdf_visualiser().

The NetCDF Visualiser Editor

The first parameter to modify is the one describing the plot type. This enables the parameters relevant to the chosen plot type.

Netcdf Plot Type

Specifies the type of plot to be generated. This also implicitly specifies how to interpret the data variables. The available modes follow a set format: the first part is either Geo (geographical coordinates) or Xy (more generic coordinates); the second part is Points (individual points), Vectors (individual points with vector information) or Matrix (matrix of data values).

Netcdf Filename

Specifies the path to the input netCDF file. This parameter, if filled, over-rides Netcdf Data.

Netcdf Data

Drop any icon containing or returning netCDF data.

Netcdf Latitude Variable

Specifies which variable in the netCDF file contains the list of latitudes to be used. Only available for Geo type plots.

Netcdf Longitude Variable

Specifies which variable in the netCDF file contains the list of longitudes to be used. Only available for Geo type plots.

Netcdf X Variable

Specifies which variable in the netCDF file contains the list of x-coordinates to be used. Only available for Xy type plots.

Netcdf Y Variable

Specifies which variable in the netCDF file contains the list of y-coordinates to be used. Only available for Xy type plots.

Netcdf Value Variable

Specifies which variable in the netCDF file contains the list of values to be used. Only available for Points and Matrix type plots.

Netcdf Dimension Setting

For value variables which are multi-dimensional, this parameter allows the data to be 'sliced' with the syntax var1/val1/var2/val2. For example setting this parameter to time/3600 will cause only the data at time=3600 to be taken.

Netcdf X Component Variable

Specifies which variable in the netCDF file contains the list of vector x-components to be used. Only available for Vectors type plots.

Netcdf Y Component Variable

Specifies which variable in the netCDF file contains the list of vector y-components to be used. Only available for Vectors type plots.

Netcdf Missing Attribute

Specifies the name of the attribute which provides the missing value indicator for the Netcdf Value Variable.
