Rapid visulalization with VTKMapper
VtkMapper is a Python script developed by Patrick Brockmann for the PRISM project. It visualizes scalar fields from NetCDF-CF files on unstructured grids. VTKMapper is free software available under the CeCILL license. As a Python script it does not need to be compiled. However it needs a few Python packages to run, see below.
Required Python packages : Linux
First, you will probably need to install the following packages :
- numpy
- python-dev
- vtk-python
Then try installing the python-netCDF4 module found here. See the installation notes
Required Python packages : Mac
VTKMapper runs with MacOSX as well. The main prerequisite is again the NetCDF4 python module. This module itself needs some packages that can be installed using MacPorts.
