Overview

NdEdit is an interactive Java tool for selecting or subsetting data from large in-situ data collections.

• The user can graphically view the locations of selected data sets in any 2D view of space and time (e.g., latitude-longitude map view or latitude-time view) and use graphical tools, the user can select a desired subset of the data displayed.
• Actions such as selecting or zooming in one 2D view are duplicated in the other 2D views.
• NdEdit also features coastline and bathymetry display in the longitude-latitude view, user-settable horizontal and vertical axes, and zooming
• Data sets in a selected box, polygon or multi-section line can be deleted or retained.

For example, a researcher can define a narrow filter band in the time dimension to restrict the number of data points shown in the latitude-longitude view to this time domain. Other tools allow data selection for further processing by other applications. For example, the section tool allows a researcher to drag a multi-segment band (user-settable width) through a data set to create custom vertical sections or select data along a particular depth contour.
