MPAS_DRAW\ Display MPAS Grids and Solution Data {#mpas_draw-display-mpas-grids-and-solution-data align=”center”} ====================================
MPAS_DRAW is a C++ program which reads information from a NETCDF file written by the MPAS program, containing the grid information and computed solution values, some of which may be time dependent, or organized in vertical atmospheric levels, and then displays graphic images of data using OpenGL.
The program is interactive, and allows the user to select the underlying mesh structure (cells, dual triangles, or edges) and the associated physical quantities to view.
A set of keyboard commands allow the user to rotate or translate the view, to move through time steps or vertical levels, and so on.

The kind of cells chosen also determines the kind of variables that can be plotted.
