12      List of available functions to plot figures. Most of them follow a similar structure:<BR>
13      <!--DIV CLASS="codetxt"-->
14      <PRE><CODE>
15        $ python drawing.py -o [figure] -f [file(or files)] -S [values] -v [variables]
16      </CODE></PRE>
17      <!--/DIV-->
[1223]18      In most of the cases <SPAN CLASS="codetxt">[values]</SPAN> is a string which contains a list of values separated by a character <SPAN CLASS="codetxt">[sep]</SPAN>, becomming the value as:
19      <PRE><CODE>
20      [values]=[val1][sep][val2][sep][...[valN]]</CODE></PRE>
[1210]21      One can obtain all the list of plots and their instructions by demanding to the script:
22      <PRE><CODE>
23        $ python drawing.py -o list_grahics
24      </CODE></PRE>
25      For almost all figures, one can obtain all the help of a specific plot by:
26      <PRE><CODE>
27        $ python drawing.py -o [figure] -S h
28      </CODE></PRE>
[1223]29      One should be able to obtain an example of execution by
30      <PRE><CODE>
31        $ cat drawing.py | grep [figure] | grep 'e.g.'
32      </CODE></PRE>
