macOS and Windows Installers

Version 6.0 adds the possibility to open files with xarray, if installed, including opening multiple files as a single dataset (xarray.open_mfdataset). xarray can be invoked from the commad line (-x) or from within ncvue with the Open xarray button.

Version 6.1 added working macOS and Windows installers.

Can use xarray to open file(s)

Version 6.0 adds the possibility to open files with xarray, if installed, including opening multiple files as a single dataset (xarray.open_mfdataset). xarray can be invoked from the commad line (-x) or from within ncvue with the Open xarray button.

This version also shows tooltips faster, removed the delay slider in Maps, increased the number of digits in the coordinate fomatters, and added further computational improvements.

Standalone versions

Version 5.0 uses CustomTkinter if it is installed.

Version 5.1 provides standalone versions for macOS Sonoma (macOS 14) with and without CustomTkinter that are notorized by Apple.

Use CustomTkinter if installed

Version 5.0 uses CustomTkinter if it is installed.
This is not directly working on conda because conda installs a tk/tcl version without support for FreeType/TrueType, font detection, Unicode, or antialiasing by default. CustomTkinter then looks very ugly. There is a solution (for Linux) in a comment on Conda's issue tracker: conda-forge/tk-feedstock/pull/40

This version also adds a Quit button and corrects datetime formatting when printing the coordinates while hoovering over the plots.

Allow multiple netcdf files

Allow one netcdf file with or without groups and multiple netcdf files without groups.
Small bug fixes.

On conda-forge and allowing groups in netcdf file

• ncvue is now on conda-forge making it easy to install with conda.
• Allows groups in netcdf files.
• Use a local copy of tooltip.py from IDLE to remove dependency on Linux.
• Works with newer matplotlib version.
• Works with newer Tcl/Tk versions.
• Uses the sphinx_book_theme for the documentation.

New project structure

New project structure using pyproject.toml, setuptools_scm, src layout, and Github actions.

• Moved from setup.py to pyproject.toml, still using setuptools with setup.cfg.
• Moved to src layout, i.e. source files are now in src/ncvue directory.
• Use automatic versioning with setuptools_scm.
• Use Github actions for continuous integration instead of TravisCI.
