Re: [udig-users] netCDF support

["Cooper, Wade" <Wade.Cooper@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Andrea,

Thanks for the feedback.  

Here's an example THREDDS dataset where I get 'unable to load' in the Catalog going through the NetCDF Dataset Wizard:

http://nomads.ncdc.noaa.gov/thredds/wms/oceanwindsfilesys/SI/uv/monthly/netcdf/uv201004.nc

It opens up fine with the Java netCDF API and ToolsUI.  All local files i've tested too end up with the same inability to load through JGrass.  Let me know if you have any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong, or if there's a bug with the new release.  

Thanks,
Wade

I had started a proposal to include the netcdf format into the udig
core, but it was blocked by some packagenaming-lincense issues. So no
idea when I want to start on that soon.

That is odd and might be due to some package mismatch from the
imageio-ext that is now in udig.
I didn't try that for the release (thought there would be no
problems), but I sure want to have netcdf working for JGrass.

I guess nothing, it is probably a bug, since anyways it should not
write "unable to open map".
I will look into it, would you be able to send me a file that doesn't
work for you?

Ciao,
Andrea
