ncdump-rich 0.5.2

Rich NcDump

Features

This project provides an easy way of previewing netCDF files with nicely formatted text in your terminal. The information extracted from the .nc files are obtained in a similar way to this example, with some modifications. The source code used on the website can be downloaded as netcdf_example.py with:

$ curl -O http://schubert.atmos.colostate.edu/~cslocum/code/netcdf_example.py

To make the output more readable it is formatted using the python library rich.

Requirements

The project depends on the python packages click, netCDF4 and rich. Installation via pip or pipx ensures that all dependencies are installed correctly.

Installation

You can install Rich NcDump via pip from PyPI:

$ pip install ncdump-rich

or perhaps even better via pipx:

$ pipx install ncdump-rich

Usage

Please see the Command-line Reference for details.

Examples

Use the program as a previewer for .nc files, for example through stpv. My own fork provides additional support for previewing .nc files using this project.

Preview in lf

Similarly you can get preview of .nc files in nnn by including an option for the extension nc in the preview-tui plugin.

nc) fifo_pager ncdump-rich "$1" ;;

Preview in nnn
