Introduction
------------
This is the binary component of the GrADS distribution. You'll
need the version 1.6+ data files (geography, fonts and symbols)
to run this version. See the GrADS-VVV/README above for more information.
Contents of GrADS-VVV/bin/
--------------------------
This are the standard executables that come with the binary distribution:
GrADS:
gradsnc - Full featured GrADS using the UNIDATA netCDF libraries
gradshdf - Full featured GrADS using the NCSA netCDF/HDF libraries
gradsc - Classic GrADS - no LATS, GUI, SDF or netcdf (readline only)
grads - link to gradshdf
GrADS Utilities:
gxps - convert grads meta graphics to postscript level 1
gxtran - display grads meta graphics
gribmap - GRIB mapping utility
gribscan - GRIB scanning utility
stnmap - station data mapper
Contributed Utilities:
gxeps - grads meta graphics to EPS utility
gxgif - grads meta graphics to GIF utility
wgrib - GRIB lister/processor from NCEP (see wesley.wwb.noaa.gov)
New Features of GrADS 1.7:
LATS (Mike Fiorino):
--------------------
Interface to the Library for AMIP data Transmission Standards
(LATS) allowing GrADS to output GRIB and/or netCDF (unidata (gradsnc) or
HDF SDF (grasdhdf)
http://www-pcmdi.llnl.gov/software/lats
SDF/XDF (Don Hooper):
---------------------
Open netCDF/HDF-SDF COARDS compliant files
http://www.cdc.noaa.gov/~hoop/grads3.html
External scriptable GUI (Arlindo da Silva):
-------------------------------------------
Add a GUI to GrADS
