OPeNDAP Data Connector Plot Gallery
Example plots with step-by-step instructions
Here is a sampling of plots all created from within the OPeNDAP Data Connector (ODC) along with detailed instructions for creating each one. All of the actual png files you see in the browser were generated directly by the ODC. No image editing program was used to create or modify the images.

Starter Tutorial - Essential for new users

The ODC can generate plots for any OPeNDAP data set. It is a generic plotter requiring no special configuration, variable conventions or other setup. The supported plot types are pseudocolor, XY (line/scatter), vector and histogram. In addition to the instructions for each of the plots summarized below there also basic activity instruction pages which describe how to do things like modify text or change the scale.

 Pseudocolor
Pseudocolor or false color plots associate values or ranges of values in the data with a particular color. The ODC has a powerful color control capability that makes it easy to generate and modify color spectrums.
