Description

NCL and the Pivot to Python This page contains a detailed report and two supporting documents on the decision to put NCL into maintenance and adopt Python as the scripting language platform for further analysis and visualization software development.

NCL-to-PyNGL Transition Guide A manual and suite of NCL and Python examples showing how to convert NCL file I/O and graphical scripts to Python using various Python modules (NumPy, PyNGL, PyNIO, xarray).
NCL User Guide A combination of the Mini-Language Manual with an excellent introduction to NCL graphics. Recommended for users who are just learning NCL, or users who want to create more high-end NCL graphics.
