PyNcView is a cross-platform NetCDF viewer written in Python. It provides an easy-to-use graphical user interface to the creation of animations and publication-quality figures. It can open multiple NetCDF files side-by-side and can plot expressions containing NetCDF variables and mathematical operators.
If you use Anaconda or Miniconda, the easiest way to install PyNcView is:
conda install -c conda-forge pyncview
Alternatively, PyNcView can be installed with pip:
pip install pyncview
In that case, you will also need to make sure to have PyQt or PySide installed.
To install the former, use pip install pyqt5
.
To use PyNcView, start it from the command line with
pyncview
If you add the path to the NetCDF file you want to open, PyNcView will show that right away, for instance:
pyncview result.nc
