3visu-ncl -f infilename.nc [options]
4
5 -f infilename.nc   : Input file, mandatory
6
7  This script is designed for longitude/latitude/pressure/time nc files.
8  Required dimension names are:
9    Time indexes   : Time, time, time_counter
10    Vertical levels: lev, presnivs
11    Latitudes      : lat, latitude
12    Longitudes     : lon, longitudes
13   
14== Options ==
15
16[-h]                : This user manual
17
18[-med media]        : media for output
19
20  Default: x11
21  Possible values:
22     x11        => Display graph on screen
23     ps,eps,pdf => Display graph in a ps,eps or pdf file
24
25[-oname outputname] : name for the output
26
27  Default: quickview (will be the name of the X11 window)
28  The name extension (.ps, .eps, .pdf) is added automatically.
29
30[-type typeplot]    : type of plot
31
32  Default: coupe
33  Possible values:
34     coupe  => Display 1D graph or 2D contour plot
35               You need to give at least 1 varying dimension,
36               otherwise default give only one point.
37     ortho  => Display 2D orthographic projection
38               You will be defaulted to a full lat/lon map.
39     stereo => Display 2D stereographic projection
40               You will be defaulted to a full lon map.
41
42Options to define the plotted variable:
43---------------------------------------
44
45[-v varname]                     : Variable name for plot
46
47  Default: liste => list the variables in file
48
49[-v2 varname]                    : Variable name to be overplotted
50
51  Default: no second variable
52
53[-tc ntcutmin[,ntcutmax[,tavg]]] : INDEXES for time slice (0 to <numberoftimepoints>-1)
54
55  Default: ntcutmin=0 / ntcutmax=ntcutmin / tavg=ntcutmax
56  ntcutmin=-999: average over all times
57  tavg=-999    : average between ntcutmin and ntcutmax
58  Known problem: on given files, the default has a problem.
59  In this case, try a time point different from 0, it should work.
60 
61[-pc pcutmin[,pcutmax[,pavg]]]   : VALUES for pressure slice
62
63  Default: pcutmin=1.e4 / pcutmax=pcutmin / pavg=pcutmax
64  pcutmin=-999 : average over all pressures
65  pavg=-999    : average between pcutmin and pcutmax
66
67[-lc lcutmin[,lcutmax[,lavg]]]   : VALUES for latitudinal slice
68
69  Default: lcutmin=0 / lcutmax=lcutmin / lavg=lcutmax
70  lcutmin=-999 : average over all latitudes
71  lavg=-999    : average between lcutmin and lcutmax
72
73[-Lc Lcutmin[,Lcutmax[,Lavg]]]   : VALUES for longitudinal slice
74
75  Default: Lcutmin=0 / Lcutmax=Lcutmin / Lavg=Lcutmax
76  Lcutmin=-999 : average over all longitudes
77  Lavg=-999    : average between Lcutmin and Lcutmax
78
79Cosmetic options for figure:
80----------------------------
81
82[-lim min,max[,step]] : limits for variable values
83
84  Default: automatic
85  1d     : min and max values for axis (step unused)
86  2d     : min, max and step values for contours
87  If only one value is given, back to default.
88
89Cosmetic options for projections:
90---------------------------------
91
92[-center lon,lat] : longitude and latitude (degrees) of center point
93
94  Default:
95  For orthographic: 0,40
96  For stereographic: 0,90 (i.e. Northern Hemisphere)
97  To plot Southern Hemisphere, ask for 0,-90 (any other will go back to default)
98  If only one value is given, both are identical.
99 
100[-grid T/F]       : logical to plot the grid or not
101
102  Default: T
103
104[-gcol gridcol]   : color for the grid
105
106  Default: white
