Load the vegetation data

Note

This document is part of a series teaching how to Create a multi-variable image / animation from a coupled ice sheet - climate simulation.

• Open veg_ratio_max_nn_777.nc ( see Open a file with the standard NetCDF Reader for instructions).

• Use the variable veg_ratio_max

• Load the colormap Linear Green (GR4l) (see Chose a different colormap).

• Invert the Colormap

• For the exact colormap of this example:

  • Remove all points above 0.65 from the colormap (see Adjust the color map for a transparent display of clouds for hints on manipulating a color map).

  • Save the colormap, open it in the text editor, Hack the color map: to reset the maximum to .67, save it, and import it again.

Your data should look roughly like this:

• Convert cell data to point data and Extrude a land surface based on topography.

your file should look like this:
