eorde

A VTK based app that displays contours on the Earth

Eorde (old anglo-saxon for Earth) has a limited number of external dependencies. These are

  • Python (3.7+)
  • numpy
  • netCDF4
  • vtk (tested with 8.2)

All these dependencioes can be easily installed with conda.

There is no graphical user interface - you interact with the mouse (zoom, rotation and translation). To read the next time step just type "t" (time) or "b" to step backward. Type "r" to reset the view and "q" to quit.

pip install eorde

If you don't have root access:

pip install eorde --user
