[ncl-talk] Converting shapefiles to netcdf using NCL_convert2nc

[Mary Haley]

Hi Sri,

You can actually type:

   ncl_convert2nc xxxx.shp

Where "xxxx.shp" is the name of your shapefile, and it should create a "
xxxx.nc" file.  You must also have the other files, xxxx.dbf and xxxx.shx
in the same directory.

I'm not sure if converting Shapefiles to NetCDF really buys you anything.
If you plan to use this with a GIS application, then using the original
shapefile is probably a better idea.
