Dear Sir/Madam, I have installed ccplot in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS app on my PC (Windows 10). For the installation process, I followed the user guide which is available on the website (https://ccplot.org/download/). The steps I followed for the installation processes are given below: 1. To install the required libraries and ccplot: sudo apt install --no-install-recommends python3 python3-dev gcc python3-distutils cython3 libhdf4-dev libhdfeos-dev python3-pil python3-numpy python3-matplotlib python3-mpltoolkits.basemap ttf-bitstream-vera 2.Build and install ccplot: tar xzf ccplot-1.5.6.tar.gz cd ccplot-1.5.6 sudo python3 setup.py install After that to check the version I simply run the 'ccplot -V' command to print the version of the ccplot and the output came is in the following: ccplot 1.5.6 Third-party libraries: matplotlib 2.1.1 basemap 1.1.0 Copyright (c) 2009-2015 Peter Kuma. This software is provided under the terms of a 2-clause BSD licence. Now after that I wanted to make a plot from a hdf file of CALIPSO data using ccplot as per the instruction given in the Chapter 6 of 'Visualising Data from CloudSat and CALIPSO Satellites'. I have made a directory named 'HDF' inside the folder 'ccplot-1.5.6.' where I put the hdf files I want to plot. 1. First I gave the command to know the information about the file ccplot -i HDF/CAL_LID_L2_05kmCLay-Standard-V4-20.2006-06-13T07-20-12ZD_Subset.hdf and the output came Type: CALIPSO Subtype: profile Time: 2006-06-13 07:44:32, 2006-06-13 07:47:00 Height: -1815m, 39855m nray: 200 nbin: 583 Longitude: 84.06E, 86.27E Latitude: 21.55N, 30.46N So up to this step, I think this is working fine. But when I want to plot and give the command below it throws an error! ccplot -o calipso1.png cmap/calipso-backscatter.cmap calipso532-layer /HDF/CAL_LID_L2_05kmCLay-Standard-V4-20.2006-06-13T07-20-12ZD_Subset.hdf ccplot: calipso532-layer: HDF: SDstart failed: b'Bad file name on open'. Does it mean ccplot is not installed properly? Can anyone tell me why this is happening? And how to solve this problem? I am very new to this software tool and any help on this is very much appreciable. Thank you. Sincerely, Ankan Sarkar DST-INSPIRE Fellow National Institute of Technology Rourkela |
