Ncl

This is the top level directory for version 6.3.0 of the NCL and NCAR Graphics source code.

This source can be used to build NCL or just NCAR Graphics. Note: NCL depends on NCAR Graphics, so you will get both if you elect to build NCL.

The documentation for NCL can be found at:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/

While NCAR Graphics is part of the NCL source code tree, it has its own documentation:

http://www.ncarg.ucar.edu/

Generally, we recommend that people install NCL and NCAR Graphics using a precompiled binary. We provide precompiled binaries for several flavors of LINUX, MacOS, and Windows/Cygwin. The NCL and NCAR Graphics precompiled binaries are hosted on the Earth System Grid website:
