qdcontour2 is an updated QueryData contouring and map rendering tool, succeeding smartmet-qdcontour. It reads a control file and generates weather map images by rendering contours from QueryData and map features from shapefiles.
Note: For server-side rendering, the WMS plugin is the preferred approach.
