NCPlot is released under the GNU General Public License v3 (GPLv3), and distributed via conda-forge, PyPI and GitHub.
NCPlot was created by Robert Wilson at the Environmental Intelligence group, Plymouth Marine Laboratory, Devon, UK.
NCPlot is built on a small number of open-source Python tools for working with netCDF and array data. Exact versions are pinned in requirements.txt.
File reading and array handling are provided by xarray, netCDF4 and NumPy, with MetPy helping recognise meteorological and oceanographic conventions. Interactive plotting is powered by hvPlot, HoloViews and Bokeh, served through Panel. Map plots use cartopy for coastlines and projections when it is installed.
