Function to plot a bar char figure with multiple sources and time axis
draw_bar_time(ncfile, values)
ncfile = '#' list of [filen];[dimslice];[tvarn];[yvarn]
[filen]: name of the file
[dimslice]: '|' list of [dimn],[dimrange]
[dimn]: name of the dimension
[dimrange]: range for the slice
* [integer]: which value of the dimension
* -1: all along the dimension
* -9: last value of the dimension
* [beg]@[end]@[inc] slice from [beg] to [end] every [inc]
* NOTE, no dim name all the dimension size
[tvarn]: name of the variable time
[yvarn]: name of the variable to use for the values
values = [dimxyfmt];[yaxislab];[yunits];[aval];[rangevals];[timevals];
[labels];[colors];[wdth];[graphtit];[legvalues];[kindfig];[fign];[close]
[dimxyfmt]=[dxs],[dxf],[Ndx],[ordx],[dys],[dyf],[Ndy],[ordy]: format of the values at each
axis (or single 'auto' for 'auto','auto')
[dxs]: style of x-axis ('auto' for 'pretty')
'Nfix', values computed at even 'Ndx'
'Stringlist', a given list of strings
'Vfix', values computed at even 'Ndx' increments
'pretty', values computed following aprox. 'Ndx' at 'pretty' intervals (2.,2.5,4,5,10)
[dxf]: format of the labels at the x-axis
[Ndx]: Number of ticks at the x-axis (for 'Stringlist', '@' list of labels)
[ordx]: angle of orientation of ticks at the x-axis ('auto' for horizontal)
[dys]: style of y-axis ('auto' for 'pretty')
[dyf]: format of the labels at the y-axis
[Ndy]: Number of ticks at the y-axis
[ordy]: angle of orientation of ticks at the y-axis ('auto' for horizontal)
[yaxislab]: Label for the y-axis ('!' for spaces)
[yunits]: units of the y-label
[aval]: which acis should be used for the values ('x' or 'y')
[rangevals]: Range of the axis with the values (singel 'None' for 'auto','auto')
[vmin],[vmax]: minimum and maximum values
'auto': the computed minimumm or maximum of the values
[timevals]: [timen]|[units]|[kind]|[tfmt] time labels characteristics
[timen]; name of the time variable
[units]; units string according to CF conventions ([tunits] since
[YYYY]-[MM]-[DD] [[HH]:[MI]:[SS]], '!' for spaces)
[kind]; kind of output
'Nval': according to a given number of values as 'Nval',[Nval]
'exct': according to an exact time unit as 'exct',[tunit];
tunit= [Nunits],[tu]; [tu]= 'c': centuries, 'y': year, 'm': month,
'w': week, 'd': day, 'h': hour, 'i': minute, 's': second,
'l': milisecond
[tfmt]; desired format
[labels]: ',' list of labels for the legend ('None' for no-labels)
[colors]: ',' list of colors (single value same color, 'auto' automati
c)
[wdth]: width of the bars
[graphtit]: title of the figure '!' for spaces
[legvalues]=[locleg]|[fontsize]:
[locleg]: location of the legend (0, autmoatic)
1: 'upper right', 2: 'upper left', 3: 'lower left', 4: 'lower right',
5: 'right', 6: 'center left', 7: 'center right', 8: 'lower center',
9: 'upper center', 10: 'center'
[fontsize]: font size for the legend (auto for 12)
[kindfig]: kind of output figure (png, pdf, ps)
[fign]: name of the figure (without extension)
[close]: whether figure should be close or not
