An updated NetCDF library supports ICON files at CDAWeb.

Autoplot allows plotting of data from many data sources, including remote CDF files and HAPI servers. Datasets are identified with URIs, and by the URI's extension, data are loaded into the internal data model. Data are then displayed by guessing the rendering method and axis ranges to provide a reasonable, useful view of the data. Data can then be additionally processed with other operations like smooth and FFT, and Jython scripting provides a capable programming environment.

This is the Autoplot v2023a branch. This is an update to the production version containing bugfixes and minor new features. Java 8 is now required.

Run with 1GB of memory to support 32-bit Java versions, and run off of ci-pw build server: autoplot_1GB.jnlp

Bugfixes (2023-08-09 r27096):

• 68: put in a check for self.putProperty('DEPEND_0',self) which would cause strange problems.
• 70: support $Y$m$d_$(H;delta=6) (and MMS files which each contain six hours of data).
• vap+cdaweb:ds=DN_MAGN-L2-HIRES_G17&filter=DN_MA&id=b_eci gets labels from the master CDF file
• NetCDF library updated to support CDAWeb's ICON_l2-5_FUV_NIGHT. Thanks, Gilda!
• QDataSet equivalent checks to see that the same indices are fill and valid.
• 2533: don't display warning message "slice on non-qube, dep1 has rank=2" when BINS_1="min,max" is used.
• PDS4 variable dimensions are shown in GUI.

Older Bugfixes (2023-07-20 r27090):

• indicate the error message when git diff results in error.
• 2530 AppManager can be told that no remaining applications state should not force System.exit, to support spawn from native Python.
• Correction to "show all" checkbox in CDF GUI. Thanks, Ivar!
• Corrections to CDF GUI when rank 3 variable didn't have DEPEND_2, and other corner cases. Thanks, Ivar!
• 38: correct cadence on Juno/WAV/Survey.
• "mod" function now appears in mash-up dialog's palette of functions.
• 60: when a script manually initializes the DataPointRecorder, the new formatterArray was left uninitialized. Thanks, Bill!
• improve error when "home/jbf/..." is used my mistake, instead of "/home/jbf/..."
• accum function preserves timetags, to match diff function.

Features:

• apl_color_quantization colorbar added.
• improve support for flatten and flattenWaveform to support https://cdaweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/sp_phys/data/psp/fields/l2/dfb_dbm_dvac/
• 66: add LegendPosition.OutsideSE so support Jim and 1-em-height events bars
• 65: add new tcaRows property, which allocates space for ephemeris before ephemeris is loaded.
• 64: add new xname and yname properties so the DataPointRecorder can name x and y columns.

Less recent features:

• allow PDS4 ASCII_STRING to contain ISO8601 times, to support CASSINI CAPS ELS data.
• 61: add "glow" property to annotations to provide contrast when no background is used.
• 567: add some support for matrix operators.
• 807: save vap checkbox to make local file references relative to .vap file location.
