What is POST_IT ?

POST_IT is a complementary package of SAXO. The main goal is to visualize models' outputs in a
simple manner with a limited knowledge of IDL.

What's new ?

• Mid-November 2007 : Add some modifications from Eric's version
• End of November 2007 : If you dowload the last version of SAXO, take the last update of POST_IT for
  the routine nc_read.pro (structures varcontient and contient do not exist anymore)
• End of January 2008 : Add some new modifications from Eric who started to play with the svn version.
• March 2008 : Creation of a tag v1.1.1 for the revision 79 before major changes in the reading data procedures.
  To get this tagged version, just type the following command

  svn checkout http://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/post_it/svn/tags/v1.1.1 POST_IT
  

• Beginning April 2008 : The new reading routines have been implemented. It should simplify new developments.
  Now, it is possible to read 3D data from atmospheric grids (one condition : initialise with the file and not with grids_*.nc)

Get POST_IT ?

First, you have to install SAXO : Have a look on ​http://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/saxo/

Second, load POST_IT (the first version is available):

• If you are a regular user (non developer) :

  svn checkout http://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/post_it/svn/trunk/ POST_IT
  

• If you are a developer with a login on the forge machine:

  svn checkout svn+ssh://login@forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/ipsl/forge/projets/post_it/svn/trunk/ POST_IT
  

Documentations

About POST_IT

We are trying now to make a wiki documentation (available since January 2008). Of course, it is not complete: Documentation
Formerly, there was a pdf presentation (this one was just a draft and won't be improved): How_to_use_post_it.pdf below.

About SVN, trac

If you are a developer in the project and if you want to know more about SVN (commit, status, update...), download the file SVN-Book_version1.2.pdf below.
Another good wiki page to help start a project on the forge machine using svn, trac... :
