Re: [Matplotlib-users] error reading netcdf file

Michael,

The .missing_value attribute is not used anymore (It is ._FillValue now).
Anyway, if your data had any value that matched ._FillValue, then, by
default, netCDF4 will give you a masked array anyway.  You will only need
to set the mask if the fill value doesn't exist or if it is different from
what you were expecting.
