You may want to take a look at the public domain Envision package
developed at University of Illinois and Texas A & M. It is UNIX-based
software that accesses netCDF files, selects subsets of a variable,
and creates various displays using IDL. The displays provided are 1-D
line graphs, 2-D contour plots, 3-D perspective surfaces, and
georeferenced contour plots with map projects and continent outlines.
It uses coordinate variable values on the axes as well. The Envision
software has many other capabilities than mentioned here.

You can find out more about Envision by looking on the WWW at URL
http://www.atmos.uiuc.edu/envision/envision.html or by anonymous FTP
at wx.atmos.uiuc.edu in the envision directory. I'm one of Envision's
developers, so you can contact me as well.
