Datacube Viewer QGIS 4 compatibility
Not QGIS 4 ready Active
Not yet — the latest version declares max QGIS version 3.99.0, so it is not offered to QGIS 4 users.
Load and visualise datacubes from GeoZarr, Zarr, NetCDF and Icechunk, with multiscale pyramids and sliders for time and other axes.
About
Load GeoZarr datacubes, plain Zarr stores, NetCDF files and Icechunk repositories as raster layers in QGIS. Sliders in a dock panel step through the non-spatial axes of the cube (time, sensor, etc.) and redraw the layer as you drag. The plugin reads directly from plain Zarr v3 stores and NetCDF files as well as Icechunk repositories (local, S3, GCS, Azure, R2 or HTTP), resolves the CRS from zarr-conventions "proj:code" or CF grid mappings, and switches between pyramid levels as you zoom. Icechunk branches, tags and snapshots can be selected at load time and changed afterwards without re-adding the layer. . ONE MANUAL STEP AFTER INSTALL: this plugin needs the "zarr" (>=3) Python package for Zarr stores and/or "netCDF4" for NetCDF files, and QGIS's Plugin Manager does not install Python packages. After installing, open Raster > Datacube Viewer > Install Python Dependencies... - it detects your operating system and QGIS build and shows the exact command to run, where to run it, and the interpreter it targets. "icechunk" is optional and only needed for Icechunk repositories. zarr and icechunk require Python 3.12 or newer, which means QGIS 3.40 or newer. . Originally developed by EODC (https://eodc.eu) as "GeoZarr Viewer". MIT licensed. This is a renamed fork carrying local changes; it is not the EODC release.
