List of available functions to plot figures. Most of them follow a similar structure:

        $ python nc_var.py -o [operation] -f [file(or files)] -S [values] -v [variables]
      

One can obtain all the list of operations and their instructions by demanding to the script:

        $ python nc_var.py -o list_operations
      

For almost all operations, one can obtain all the help of a specific operation by:

        $ python nc_var.py -o [operation] -S h
      

The netcdf-managing script has two steps:

1. nc_var.py: Main script which mainly gets the values
2. nc_var_tools.py: Script which perform the operations and its used by nc_var.py
3. generic_tools.py: Script which contains generic operations and it is used by both scripts
