@accessrel Awesome Aidan! Hope you and your colleagues enjoy #ncmaps.

@aida Cheers Aida !

Do as Aida, install #ncmaps (see ⬆️ of thread) and post a view of one of your #netCDF files !

@juliusgarbe Thanks for the kind words, Julius! And a very nice use of #ncmaps indeed.

We also have to thank the original developers of #ncview: they thought ppl would want to add more colormaps and made it possible without compiling the code.

@TGuinaldo Cheers Thibault for this nice example!

Keep them coming, folks. #ncmaps #ncview

@cir @ruben Cheers Christopher. I agree, colormaps were my top-1 hate in #ncview. But now this is solved (#ncmaps).

There are a bunch of other things I'd change, but they all require diving and changing ncview's code...

@rcaneill cheers Romain. Glad if #ncmaps can help!

So here comes a little challenge:

Step 1) install #ncmaps (https://github.com/TomLav/ncmaps). Really easy.

Step 2) make a #ncview screenshot of a #NetCDF file using one of the ncmaps colormaps.

Step 3) Post it here below, explaining what the image shows, and naming the colormap used.

I'll #boost your contribution 😊!

Do you use #ncview to quickly browse your #NetCDF files?

You are not the only one !

Of course, a problem with #ncview is that it comes with bad #colormaps, including many 🌈 rainbows 😭 .

But we have a solution for you !

Install #ncmaps and bring scientific colormaps to #ncview !
