What
Web Server
Build and serve heliopropa's visualizations.
It's a flask webserver, serving d3.js plots.
It also gathers NetCDF data from AMDA, and serves it as CSV to the plotter.
Rationale
- Reading NetCDF from javascript is doable, but still very hacky.
- The bridge can handle pagination and collecting multiple NetCDF into one CSV.

Overview
config.yml: the main configuration file.web/run.py: the front controller, holding most of the code.web/run.log: you'll find more information about failures in the log.web/view/home.html.jinja2: the HTML template.web/static/js/swapp.ls: most of the javascript client-side.
Install
virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install matplotlib
pip install numpy==1.8.*
pip install -r requirements.txt
CentOs 6 Shenanigans
yum install https://centos6.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm
yum install python27*
But then virtualenv yields

Solution:
Configure Apache to use web/run_ssa.wsgi and use pip2.7 install system wide.
Install libcdf.
wget https://spdf.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/software/cdf/dist/cdf37_0/linux/cdf37_0-dist-all.tar.gz
tar -xzvf cdf37_0-dist-all.tar.gz
cd cdf37_0-dist
make all OS=linux ENV=gnu
make INSTALLDIR=/usr/local/lib/libcdf install
Develop
source venv/bin/activate
DEBUG=true python web/run.py
Then, browse localhost:5000.
Troubleshoot
