SkewTplus -- Atmospheric Profile Plotting and Diagnostics
=========================================================
SkewTplus provides a few useful tools to help with the plotting and analysis of
upper atmosphere data. In particular, it provides some useful classes to
handle the awkward skew-x projection.
This package is based on the SkewT Python package developed by Thomas Chubb
(https://pypi.python.org/pypi/SkewT/)
The main difference with the original *SkewT package* is that the vertical soundings
plots are handled by a special class (SkewT).
The new *SkewT* class extends the base
`matplolib's Figure <http://matplotlib.org/api/figure_api.html?highlight=figure#module-matplotlib.figure>`_
class with an interface similar to
`matplolib's pyplot <http://matplotlib.org/api/pyplot_api.html>`_.
It also allows to create Skew-T type plots in a simple way.
This new class allows a complete control over the Figure properties like
multiple plots (normal axis and Skew-T axis).
In addition, the **thermodynamics** module was improved.
All the intensive computations were migrated to Cython and paralellized.
The SkewT Python package was a cornerstone of this project.
We are grateful to all its collaborators.

Dependencies
============
The SkewTplus package need the following dependencies
* matplotlib
* numpy
* cython (optional)
* netCDF4
* six
* future (python2)
* hdf4
* libgcc >=5
For running the WRF data example:
* Basemap
Installing SkewTplus
====================
PIP install
-----------
To install the package using **pip** the numpy package must be already installed.
If is not installed, you can install it by running::
pip install numpy
After the numpy package was installed, to install the SkewTplus package run::
pip install SkewTplus
Install from source
-------------------
The latest version can be installed manually by downloading the sources from
https://github.com/aperezhortal/SkewTplus
To install the package manually, the numpy package must be already installed.
If is not installed, you can install it by running::
pip install numpy
Then, you can install the SkewTplus package executing::
python setup.py install
If you want to put it somewhere different than your system files, you can do::
python setup.py install --prefix=/path/to/local/dir
IMPORTANT: If you install it using this way, all the dependencies need to be already installed!
Conda install
-------------
If you are using an anaconda environment, to install the package execute::
conda install -c andresperezcba skewtplus
