## Historique du projet et usages

Magics is ECMWF's meteorological plotting package for visualising weather and climate data. It supports GRIB, NetCDF, BUFR, and ODB data and produces map and chart output in formats such as PostScript, PDF, PNG, GIF, and SVG.

### Historique du projet

The official ECMWF page describes Magics as meteorological plotting software accessible directly through Python or Fortran interfaces or through Metview. The project supports meteorological-specific plot types including contours, wind fields, observations, satellite images, symbols, axes, text, and graphs.

Its visible release history predates the public GitHub mirror. The ECMWF Confluence release list includes Magics 2.x tarballs in 2012, the 2.22 series moving installation to CMake in 2015, Magics 3.0.0 becoming Python 3 ready in December 2017, and Magics 4.0.0 as a production release in February 2019.

### Historique d'adoption

Magics adoption is concentrated in meteorology, earth-science, and ECMWF workflows rather than general-purpose CLI use. The official documentation ties it to ECMWF's ecCodes for GRIB handling and to Metview, while the companion `magics-python` repository packages the Python interface.

The supplied Homebrew input shows packaged availability in Homebrew and Debian/Ubuntu as `libmagics++-data`. ECMWF's page also advertises PyPI, Conda, and Docker badges, which fits its scientific-computing distribution model.

### Modes d'utilisation

Users call Magics through Python, Fortran, Metview, or command-line helpers to produce meteorological plots from GRIB, BUFR, NetCDF, ODB, and gridded fields. It is infrastructure-like plotting software rather than a single-purpose command.

Package-manager users usually care that the native Magics libraries and data files are present because higher-level ECMWF tools, notebooks, and Python bindings depend on them.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

Magics is package-nerd significant because it is a domain-specific native stack with scientific data formats, C++ and Fortran code, Python bindings, and data assets. It tends to surface in formulae and distro packages as part of the ECMWF weather-toolchain cluster with ecCodes and Metview.

Its release trail is valuable for maintainers because ABI, CMake, Python, and format support changes matter to downstream meteorological software.

### Chronologie

- 2012: Magics 2.x source tarballs appear in ECMWF's release list.
- 2015: Magics 2.22 installation changed to CMake.
- 2017: Magics 3.0.0 released as the first Python 3 ready version.
- 2019: Magics 4.0.0 production release published.
- 2025: Magics 4.16.0 source tarball published on ECMWF Confluence.

### Related projects

- ecCodes handles GRIB data used by Magics.
- Metview can use Magics for plotting.
- magics-python provides the Python interface to the Magics plotting package.
