    "description": "<p><strong>ncvue</strong> is a minimal GUI for a quick view of netCDF files. It is aiming to be a drop-in replacement for <a href=\"http://meteora.ucsd.edu/~pierce/ncview_home_page.html\">ncview</a>, being slightly more general than <a href=\"http://meteora.ucsd.edu/~pierce/ncview_home_page.html\">ncview</a>, which targets maps. If <strong>ncvue</strong> is used with maps, it supports mostly structured grids, more precisely the grids supported by <a href=\"https://scitools.org.uk/cartopy/docs/latest/\">cartopy</a>.</p>\n\n<p><strong>ncvue</strong> is a Python script that can be called from within Python or as a command line tool. It is not supposed to produce publication-ready plots but rather provide a quick overview of the netCDF file.</p>\n\n<p>The complete documentation for <strong>ncvue</strong> is available from: <a href=\"https://mcuntz.github.io/ncvue/\">https://mcuntz.github.io/ncvue/</a></p>\n\n<p>The current version features three panels, that means three different plotting styles: Scatter/Line plots, Contour Plots, and Maps, with extensive tooltips on buttons, sliders, entry boxes, spinboxes, and menus. It includes the possibility to open and change netCDF files within <strong>ncvue</strong>. The netCDF file will be changed in all panels of the primary window and any secondary window once focus changes on the panel or window. Graphical documentation exists on <a href=\"https://mcuntz.github.io/ncvue/\">Github Pages</a>.</p>\n\n<p>The current version also provides two standalone applications on macOS and on Windows that come with all necessary libraries to run <strong>ncvue</strong>, including Python. Links to the installers are given on <a href=\"https://github.com/mcuntz/ncvue/\">Github</a> and in the <a href=\"https://mcuntz.github.io/ncvue/\">documentation</a>.</p>\n\n<p>Version 3.6 added different designs on macOS, Windows and Linux.</p>\n\n<p>Version 4.0 moved to a new project structure, using pyproject.toml, automatic versioning, src layout, and Github actions for continuous integration.</p>\n\n<p>Version 4.1 ported <strong>ncvue</strong> to conda-forge.</p>\n\n<p>Version 4.2 allowed groups in netcdf files.</p>\n\n<p>Version 4.3 allowed multiple netcdf files.</p>\n\n<p>Version 4.4 added borders, rivers, and lakes.</p>\n\n<p>Version 5.0 uses CustomTkinter if installed.</p>\n\n<p>Version 5.1 provides disk images with standalone versions.</p>"
