9== What is SAXO ==
10
11SAXO is a package (~400 routines, ~60 000 code lines) used to easily and quickly visualize and analyze models outputs or data observations.
12It is based on [http://www.ittvis.com/idl/ IDL] and contains a Graphic User Interface.
13Developed in collaboration with [http://www.locean-ipsl.upmc.fr/ LOCEAN] researchers, it allows to explore four dimension data which may be gridded or irregularly spaced.
14It is particularly adapted to the "Arakawa C grid" discretization used in [http://www.locean-ipsl.upmc.fr/NEMO/ NEMO].
15In addition to graphical procedures, interpolation modules and other things 
, it contains a set of programs dedicated to oceanographic diagnostics.

17== Prerequisites ==
18SAXO needs at least [http://www.ittvis.com/idl/ IDL] 6.0.

20    SAXO can be used with the 7 minutes demo-mode (within the limitations of this mode: impossible to save data and create a file).
