The Meteorological Applications Graphics Integrated Color System (MAGICS), developed at the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), is a software system that permits the plotting of contours, satellite images, wind fields, observations, symbols, streamlines, isotachs, axes, graphs, text and legends. MAGICS was designed to conform to and use meteorological and graphics standards, e.g. GRIB, BUFR, GKS. It makes use of modern contouring methods (CONICON) and enables users to take advantage of color graphics and device independence.
IRIX version compatibility: 5.x, 6.x
