EPyGrAM

Commit commit:fc8cf8c2

Main advances:

• porting of map plotting to cartopy, due to the deprecation announcement of basemap
• new apptool: epy_cartoplot.py, shall replace epy_plot.py with cartopy
• plot3D update, including epy_plot3d.py

More detailed contents, since 1.3.6:¶

• grib_utilities becomes griberies
• rewrite of GRIB read/write methods
• creation of GribDef objects
• new apptool what_the_grib.py
• what(): nicer list of fields
• listfields(additional_keys=...)
• Numerous fixes

• global: avoid to call trans_inq just to get SPdatasize for usual truncations
• use of faFieldName.def GRIB definitions and sfxflddesc_mod.F90 instead of FA_Field_Dict.csv (=> adaptations needed if you have local .epygram versions)

• GRIB2 : better and faster search within GRIB2 files, bugfix for plotting vectors, shortcuts for parameters updated
• Misc: shortcuts for operational models updated (Vortex, domains), new pre-defined zooms

• fields comparison: scatter_with(), compare_to(), normalized_comparison()
• recursive objects comparison improvement
• cartopy: cartoplot() and default_cartopy_CRS() methods

• New apptool: epy_plot3d.py
• Simplification for 3D plotting: * offset, hCoord and z_factor are now hidden from the plotting methods * new util.vtk_guess_param_from_field to ease the choice of the above variables * util.vtk_set_window becomes util.vtk_setup * new util.vtk_proj function to ease the camera manipulation
• Simplification regarding excludeextralevels parameter
• Correction in D3VirtualField.getlevel when level values are position dependent
• D3Geometry.isglobal property is added
• geoid was missing in geometry returned by make_section_geometry
• extract_subdomain can now performs a vertical coordinate change on the whole domain

• ECMWF pre-configuration profiles
• netCDF: Geos geometry read
• netCDF: ignore failed read of validity
• new handling of colormapping helpers + epygram colormaps in json format (=> adaptations needed if you have local .epygram versions)
• improvement of installation script (known platforms only) => towards site-packages
• suppression of femars apptool
• porting to epona fixes
• optimisation for interpolation on Gaussian geometry
• various and numerous fixes...
