Introduction

This package generates plots & movies for the EC-CAS project at Environment and Climate Change Canada.

Basic usage

Define your data

First, you need to come up with a config file describing the data you want to process (what type of data, where to find it, and how it should look in the plots). See the included eccas.cfg file for an example of how a config file is structured.

If you're not sure which interfaces to use for your data, try running eccas-diags --list-interfaces to see all available options. If you don't see the appropriate interface there, you could try making a new interface and adding it to the eccas_diags/interfaces/ directory (or request that it be added).

Run the diagnostics

Now that you defined your data, you can try running the diagnostics:

eccas-diags -f your_data.cfg

Additional arguments may be required, such as --tmpdir to specify where to put intermediate files. To get a full list of options available, run eccas-diags --help.

By default, the final diagnostics will go in a diags/ subdirectory of your first experiment in your config file. You can override this by using the --outdir parameter.

Dependencies

This package requires the PyGeode, numpy, and matplotlib Python packages in order to work.
