Opening Datasets

Vapor supports a variety of scientific data formats. This notebook shows how to open a dataset and query its metadata.

print("Supported dataset types:", dataset.Dataset.GetDatasetTypes())

Supported dataset types: ['vdc', 'wrf', 'cf', 'mpas', 'bov', 'ugrid']

ses = session.Session()
data = example_utils.OpenExampleDataset(ses)

# Examples of opening real data
#
# data = ses.OpenDataset(dataset.WRF, ["data/wrf_out.0001", "data/wrf_out.0002"])
# data = ses.OpenDataset(dataset.VDC, ["master.vdc"])
# data = ses.OpenDataset(dataset.MPAS, ["x1.static.nc", "diag.2021-03-04_10.30.00.nc"])

Render the first 2D variable as a wireframe

ren = data.NewRenderer(renderer.WireFrameRenderer)
ren.SetVariableName(data.GetDataVarNames(2)[0]) # Set to first 2D data variable

ses.GetCamera().ViewAll()
ses.Show()
