    | con is the interface to contouring in cf-plot. The minimum use is con(f)
    | where f is a 2 dimensional array. If a cf field is passed then an
    | appropriate plot will be produced i.e. a longitude-latitude or
    | latitude-height plot for example. If a 2d numeric array is passed then
    | the optional arrays x and y can be used to describe the x and y data
    | point locations.
    |
    | f - array to contour
    | x - x locations of data in f (optional)
    | y - y locations of data in f (optional)
    | fill=True - colour fill contours
    | lines=True - draw contour lines and labels
    | line_labels=True - label contour lines
    | title=title - title for the plot
    | ptype=0 - plot type - not needed for cf fields.
    |                       0 = no specific plot type,
    |                       1 = longitude-latitude,

    |                       4 = latitude - time,
    |                       5 = longitude - time
    |                       6 = rotated pole
    | negative_linestyle='solid' - set to one of 'solid', 'dashed'
    | zero_thick=False - add a thick zero contour line. Set to 3 for example.
    | blockfill=False - set to True for a blockfill plot
    | colorbar_title=colbar_title - title for the colour bar
    | colorbar=True - add a colour bar if a filled contour plot
    | colorbar_label_skip=None - skip colour bar labels. Set to 2 to skip
    |                            every other label.
    | colorbar_orientation=None - options are 'horizontal' and 'vertical'
    |                      The default for most plots is horizontal but
    |                      for polar stereographic plots this is vertical.
    | colorbar_shrink=None - value to shrink the colorbar by.  If the colorbar
    |                        exceeds the plot area then values of 1.0, 0.55
    |                        or 0.5m may help it better fit the plot area.
    | colorbar_position=None - position of colorbar
    |                          [xmin, ymin, x_extent,y_extent] in normalised
    |                          coordinates. Use when a common colorbar
    |                          is required for a set of plots. A typical set
    |                          of values would be [0.1, 0.05, 0.8, 0.02]
    | colorbar_fontsize=None - text size for colorbar labels and title
    | colorbar_fontweight=None - font weight for colorbar labels and title
    | colorbar_text_up_down=False - if True horizontal colour bar labels
    |                               alternate above (start) and below the
    |                               colour bar

    | orca=None - User specifies this is an orca tripolar grid. Internally

    | The default map plotting projection is the cyclindrical equidistant
    | projection from -180 to 180 in longitude and -90 to 90 in latitude.
    | To change the map view in this projection to over the United Kingdom,
    | for example, you would use
    | mapset(lonmin=-6, lonmax=3, latmin=50, latmax=60)
    | or
    | mapset(-6, 3, 50, 60)
    |
    | The limits are -360 to 720 in longitude so to look at the equatorial

    | mapset(lonmin=-270, lonmax=-60, latmin=-30, latmax=30)
    |
    | The default setting for the cylindrical projection is for 1 degree of
    | longitude to have the same size as one degree of latitude.  When plotting
    | a smaller map setting aspect='auto' turns this off and the map fills the
    | plot area. Setting aspect to a number a circle will be stretched such
    | that the height is num times the width. aspect=1 is the same as
    | aspect='equal'.
    |
    | The proj parameter accepts 'npstere' and 'spstere' for northern
    | hemisphere or southern hemisphere polar stereographic projections.
    | In addition to these the boundinglat parameter sets the edge of the
    | viewable latitudes and lon_0 sets the centre of desired map domain.

    | lineplot is the interface to line plotting in cf-plot.
    | The minimum use is lineplot(f) where f is a CF field.
    | If x and y are passed then an appropriate plot is made allowing
    | x vs data and y vs data plots.

    | When making a labelled line plot:
    | always have a label for each line
    | always put the legend location as an option to the last call to lineplot
    |
    | f - CF data used to make a line plot
    | x - x locations of data in y
    | y - y locations of data in x
    | linestyle='-' - line style
    | color=None - line color. Defaults to Matplotlib colour scheme
    |              unless specified
    | linewidth=1.0 - line width
    | marker=None - marker for points along the line
    | markersize=5.0 - size of the marker
    | markeredgecolor = 'k' - colour of edge around the marker
    | markeredgewidth = 0.5 - width of edge around the marker
    | xlog=False - log x-axis
    | ylog=False - log y-axis
    | label=None - line label - label for line
    | legend_location='upper right' - default location of legend
    |                 Other options are {'best': 0, 'center': 10,
    |                                    'center left': 6,
    |                                    'center right': 7, 'lower center': 8,
    |                                    'lower left': 3, 'lower right': 4,
    |                                    'right': 5,
    |                                    'upper center': 9, 'upper left': 2,
    |                                    'upper right': 1}
    | titles=False - set to True to have a dimensions title
    | verbose=None - change to 1 to get a verbose listing of what lineplot
    |                is doing
    | zorder=None - plotting order
    |
    | The following parameters override any CF data defaults:
    | title=None - plot title
    | xunits=None - x units
    | yunits=None - y units
    | xlabel=None - x name
    | ylabel=None - y name
    | xname=None - deprecated keyword
    | yname=None - deprecated keyword
    | xticks=None - x ticks
    | xticklabels=None - x tick labels
    | yticks=None - y ticks
    | yticklabels - y tick labels
    | axes=True - plot x and y axes
    | xaxis=True - plot xaxis
    | yaxis=True - plot y axis
    |
    |
    | When making a multiple line plot:
    | a) set the axis limits with gset before plotting the lines
    | b) the last call to lineplot is the one that any of the above
    |    axis overrides should be placed in.
