""" This example code illustrates how to access and visualize a MOP02N version 9 HDF-EOS5 swath file in Python. If you have any questions, suggestions, or comments on this example, please use the HDF-EOS Forum (http://hdfeos.org/forums). If you would like to see an example of any other NASA HDF/HDF-EOS data product that is not listed in the HDF-EOS Comprehensive Examples page (http://hdfeos.org/zoo), feel free to contact us at eoshelp@hdfgroup.org or post it at the HDF-EOS Forum (http://hdfeos.org/forums). Usage: save this script and run $python MOP02N-20180311-L2V19.9.2.he5.py The HDF file must be in your current working directory.
