Thank you very much, it did work, the first screen was black but then the earth globe appeared with South Africa in colour XD.... Still, so that means I do not have the NCARG tools, ok I though they were not needed... One question tough. I am working with WRF 3.3.1 with .nc files as outputs, I now can use ncl fro handling them but will NCARG tools help me better for certain areas ?? or plots? I specially heard someone saying I could couple ncl with something else for 3D ploting of variables and layers as well. That would be amazing and extremely useful for my results.<br>

Hi Alberto,<br>
<br>
The "cpex08.ncgm" is a special file format only recognized by NCAR Graphics tools, and not generic Linux tools.<br>
<br>
Trying using "ctrans", which comes with NCL/NCAR Graphics:<br>
<br>
ctrans -d X11 cpex08.ncgm<br>
<br>
You will need to click on the window that pops up with your left mouse button to advance through the frames, and/or to close the last window. I believe this NCGM file only has one frame.<br>
