+MapGenerator provides a huge set of options to plot maps from netCDF file(s) or from multi-dimensional arrays already retrieved and loaded in memory. It can be used basically in two ways:
+
+1.  by command line (needs netCDF to read):
+
+```
+mg --help
+
+mg --option1 value1 ... --optionN valueN
+
+mg --option1=value1 ... --optionN=valueN
+```
+
+2.  as python library:
+
+```
+from mapgenerator.plotting import plotmap
+
+pm = plotmap.PlotMap()
+
+pm.plot(option1=value1, ..., optionN=valueN)  (reads from netCDF)
+
+pm.aplot(option1=value1, ..., optionN=valueN) (reads from array)
+```
+
+Additionally, it can be used as an R library:
+
+```
+library(reticulate)
+
+plotmap <- import("mapgenerator.plotting.plotmap")
+
+pm$plot(option1=value1, ..., optionN=valueN)
+
+pm$aplot(option1=value1, ..., optionN=valueN)
+
+```
+
+All available options can be found [here](options)
