Scripts used in NCL workshop graphics lecture

These examples show a progression of visualizations from the most basic one with no or minimal resources set, to a more complex visualization with multiple resources set. The scripts are named script1a.ncl, script1b.ncl, script1c.ncl, etc to indicate the progression of examples.

Click on any of the thumbnails to see a larger image. You can download the NCL scripts by right-clicking on them and doing a "Save As" or "Download linked file". Some of the data files are available for download here, or they may be available on your student machine in class. See instructor for details.
