This is the top level directory for version 6.3.0 of the NCL and NCAR Graphics source code.

This source can be used to build NCL or just NCAR Graphics. Note: NCL depends on NCAR Graphics, so you will get both if you elect to build NCL.

The documentation for NCL can be found at:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/

While NCAR Graphics is part of the NCL source code tree, it has its own documentation:

http://www.ncarg.ucar.edu/

Generally, we recommend that people install NCL and NCAR Graphics using a precompiled binary. We provide precompiled binaries for several flavors of LINUX, MacOS, and Windows/Cygwin. The NCL and NCAR Graphics precompiled binaries are hosted on the Earth System Grid website:
