I think it doesn't if you have small local datasets, I have never been able to zoom in. > I have seen that there was an initiative from uDig in GSoC 2009: > Getting time into the GIS for visualization and modeling puposes: netcdf > support > in uDig by Andrea Antonello > http://jgrass.wiki.software.bz.it/jgrass/weekly_reports > > So my question: > * has above mentioned development for netcdf support landed in uDig main code? Sadly not yet. But there is more sadness to it. The code lives in JGrass and the current uDig version has a library mismatch that doesn't make the use of netcdf from JGrass possible. We are planning to solve this for the 1.2.1 release of uDig, but there is no strict timeline for that right now. Anyways the netcdf part in JGrass is actively maintained and you can indeed browse the maps through time, as well as the non-map parts (http://jgrasstechtips.blogspot.com/2010/01/netcdf-in-jgrass-non-spatial-part.html). I already had some requests in the uDig and JGrass lists to solve the problem, I will as soon as possible.
