| PackageDescription | ECMWF meteorological plotting software library
Magics++ is the latest generation of the ECMWF's Meteorological plotting
software MAGICS. Although completely redesigned in C++, it is intended to be
as backwards-compatible as possible with the Fortran interface.
Besides its programming interfaces (Fortran and C), Magics++ offers MagML,
a plot description language based on XML aimed at automatic web production.
.
The library supports the plotting of contours, wind fields, observations,
satellite images, symbols, text, axis and graphs (including boxplots).
.
Data fields to be plotted may be presented in various formats,
for instance GRIB 1 and 2 code data, Gaussian grid, regularly spaced grid
and fitted data. Input data can also be in BUFR and NetCDF format
or retrieved from an ODB database.
.
The produced meteorological plots can be saved in various formats,
such as PostScript, EPS, PDF, GIF, PNG, SVG and KML. |
