VERDI currently can be used to create 2-d tile plots, vertical cross sections, scatter plots, line and bar timeseries, contour plots, vector plots, and vector-tile plots,
Scriptable
VERDI can be driven with a scripting language to allow batch-generation of images.

VERDI 1.3 is available for download
- The fast tile plot has been improved on its correctness in zooming in and out. Other functions of fast tile plot such as adding the file source to the subtitle, etc. have been also improved.
- The capabilities of EPA's Watershed Deposition Tool have been included in this release of VERDI. Using this new visualization capability, users can map gridded data to polygon areas such as watersheds and census tracts.
- Updated netCDF Java library which allows easier inclusion of additional file readers (e.g. CAMx)
VERDI 1.3 Now Available
VERDI 1.3 was made available through the CMAS Center on June 15, 2010. Developed by Argonne National Lab, and further developed by UNC's Institute for the Environment and by Lockheed Corporation through the EPA Modeling and Visualization Laboratory, VERDI provides the CMAQ and SMOKE user community with a new tool for visualizing modeling data. Please direct feedback to cmas@unc.edu.
VERDI Training in Development
The CMAS training staff are hoping to develop a course for VERDI to be offered in the future. Keep an eye on the m3list listserv for an announcement of the course schedule.
