The current version of Panoply is 2.6.2, released 2008-09-15.

Panoply is a Java application which plots geo-gridded arrays from netCDF-3 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 lon-lat data on a global or regional map (using any of over 75 map projections) or make a zonal average lineplot.
• Overlay continent outlines or masks on lon-lat plots.
• Use any CPT, PAL, ACT or CWC color table for scale colorbar.
• Save plots to disk in GIF, PDF, PNG or PS form.

Panoply requires that your computer have a Java 5 runtime environment, or better, installed.

Panoply cannot yet read files using the netCDF-4 format.
