Folks:
I've written a simple python module to allow ncl scripts to be imbedded in
python programs. It's a kludge - data is transferred to ncl via netcdf or
ascii text files - but it works. I've been using it for about 6 months to
create ncl plots from within python scripts. I know there are much more
elegant solutions being discussed on pyncl list, but I thought there might
be some who would appreciate something that works now, however crude.
See http://www.cdc.noaa.gov/~jsw/python/ncl.html
Needs the Scientific, Numeric modules.
There are two functions, writegrids (for writing a Numeric array to a
netCDF file to be read by ncl) and nclrun (for executing an ncl script,
stored as multi-line string in python).
To run a couple of examples, execute the module as a standalone script
(i.e "python ncl.py"). The example code is at the end of the module,
after "if __name__ == '__main__':".
Comments/suggestions are welcome.
-Jeff
