https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/2034#issuecomment-378099418 | https://api.github.com/repos/pydata/xarray/issues/2034 | 378099418 | MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDM3ODA5OTQxOA== | 1197350 | 2018-04-03T01:32:00Z | 2018-04-03T01:32:00Z | MEMBER | What I would like to see is a replacement for ncview. Despite being archaic in terms of its technology (e.g. it requires X11), it is still used daily by a huge number of scientists because it serves a very important need: quick visual examination of a netCDF dataset (also works on remote systems via X forwarding). Imagine a modern implementation of ncview backed by xarray and holoviews/geoviews.
This would spawn a web server providing an interactive web-based GUI explorer for all variables in the dataset. You could use this locally or on a remote system. I think such an app would catch on like wildfire. But I agree completely that it is out of scope of xarray and belongs as a standalone project. |
