[OSGeo-Discuss] Support of 4D (time based) data sets

[Timmie]

Dear all,
I am investigating in using netcdf as data format that could integrate the time
dimension into GIS.
The NASA tool Panoply (http://www.giss.nasa.gov/tools/panoply/) does this quite
nicely.

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?
* are there any other end-user GIS like QGIS or gvSIG that support time-based
data sets like Panoply (going forward and backword in time-dependant modelled
spatial data sets easily)?


Thanks in advance,
Timmie
