Panoply Publisher Description

Panoply is a Java application which plots latitude-longitude, latitude-vertical or time-latitude gridded data contained in netCDF datasets.

Features include:

Slice specific 2D arrays from multidimensional variables which have more than two dimensions.
Combine two arrays in one plot by differencing, summing or averaging.
Menu of 50+ global map projections for lon-lat plots.
Draw continents outlines or masks on lon-lat plots.
Save plots to disk using GIF, PDF, PNG or PS format.

OS: PPC/Intel
Requirements: Mac OS X 10.3 or later, Java 1.4 or later.
Whats new:
* Bugfix: Too coarse gridding for regional lon-lat plots (both for the Equirect-Regional projection and for zoomed-in azimuthals) that crossed the ±180°E meridian.
* Bugfix: Map center-of-projection controls "spontaneously" resetting to plot default values on one OS/Java combination (Mandriva Linux w/ Java 6).
* Bugfix: Array "slicer" controls could be sized unusably small if dimension name was extremely long.
* Bugfix: Masks did not display in Overlays Browser.
* Update GISS mapping library to version 1.2.0 and modify map controls and map preference controls accordingly. Library was updated so that 12 pseudocylindric projections allow for optional interrupted format.
* Added projection parameter controls to Overlays Browser.
