@Name      = Magplot
@Title     = Lat/Lon plot
@Section   = Magics
@Arguments = ifile ofile
@Operators = contour shaded grfill

@BeginDescription
The operators in this module generates 2D Lon/Lat plots.
The data for the plot is read from @file{ifile}.
The result is written to @file{ofile}. The default output file format is postscript,
this can be changed with the device parameter.
The type of the plot depends on the choosen operator.

Here is a list of all common plot parameters:

@BeginTable
 @bold{Keyname}     & @bold{Type}    & @bold{Description}      
 device      & STRING  & Output device (ps, eps, pdf, png, gif, gif_animation, jpeg, svg, kml)
 projection  & STRING  & Projection (cylindrical, polar_stereographic, robinson, mercator)
 style       & STRING  & Contour line style (solid, dash, dot, chain_dash, chain_dot)
 min         & FLOAT   & Minimum value
 max         & FLOAT   & Maximum value
 count       & INTEGER & Number of Contour levels / Colour bands  
 interval    & FLOAT   & Interval in data units between two bands lines
 list        & INTEGER & List of levels to be plotted
 RGB         & STRING  & TRUE or FALSE, to  indicate, if the input colour is in RGB format
 step_freq   & INTEGER & Frequency of time steps to be considered for making the animation
             &         & (device=gif_animation). Default value is "1" (all time steps).
             &         & Will be ignored if input file has multiple variables.
 file_split  & STRING  & TRUE or FALSE, to split the output file for each variable, if input has
             &         & multiple variables. Default value is "FALSE". Valid only for "PS" format.

 colour_triad & STRING  & Direction of colour sequencing for shading "CW" or "ACW",
              &         & to denote "clockwise" and "anticlockwise" respectively.
              &         & To be used in conjunction with "colour_min", "colour_max"
              &         & options. Default is "ACW"
 colour_table & STRING  & File with user specified colours with the format as
