[MITgcm-devel] Pretty plots for cubed sphere

[Alistair Adcroft]

Inspired by Dimitris' movies, I checked in some scripts to do something 
similar:

 >> xg=rdmds('XG');
 >> yg=rdmds('YG');
 >> eta=rdmds('ETAN',Inf);
 >> etopo2cube
 >> fancycube(xg,yg,sq(eta),max(0,min(5000,H)),0.05/5000);axis off;
 >> [az,el]=view(-20,20)
 >> print -djpeg100 q.jpg

etopo2cube is a cheap hack to get etopo5 orography on the cubed sphere

It's straight forward to make movies from here on.

Anyone know of a decent data set for land color (rather than elevation)?
