[netCDFJava #PJR-849641]: Question about NetCDF Java Tool

Greetings!

I was able to to view the grid using toolsUI-5.3.3. When you first open the grid
viewer, the map will be blank. You will need to click on the little red alien
icon the Grid Viewer view in order to have the grid viewer to actually draw the
image. ToolsUI isn't the most friendly application, and is really geared towards
developers for debugging netCDF-Java and the THREDDS Data Server. It will work
for creating images, but it won't be the most friendly experience.

Another much more user friendly option would be to use Panoply from NASA:

https://www.giss.nasa.gov/tools/panoply/

Have you use that application before?

Cheers!

Sean
