Are there any utilities available besides ncgen & ncdump?
I am planning to develop utilities to do things like:
Putting data (from say stdin) into specified file/array
Copying data from one specified file/array to another
Arithmetic
Interpolation
Graphing
Contouring
There is a need to be able to specify subscripts in a flexible way.
The hyperslab concept is too narrow to extract data for say months 12, 1 & 2.
It should be possible to specify subscript values via their corresponding
coordinate variables. For example 'lat=~60' might mean the latitude subscript
j giving lat(j) closest to 60.
I hope this gives some idea of the sort of thing I have in mind.
I would appreciate any information about such utilities, whether working,
in development or just planned. Also sources of ideas (about other
packages, or more general concepts) would be useful.
