# Description:  Python command wrapper for VCS's functionality. VCS is computer #
#               software for the selection, manipulation, and display of        #
#               scientific data. By specification of the desired data, the      #
#               graphics method, and the display template, the VCS user gains   #
#               virtually complete control of the appearance of the data        #
#               display and associated text and animation.                      #

Functions
       
init(mode=1, pause_time=0, call_from_gui=0)
Function: init                 # Initialize, Construct a VCS Canvas Object
 
Description of Function:
   Construct the VCS Canas object. There can only be at most 8 VCS
   Canvases open at any given time.
 
Example of Use:
   import vcs,cu
 
   file=cu.open('filename.nc')
   slab=file.getslab('variable')
   a=vcs.init()                        # This examples constructs 4 VCS Canvas 
   a.plot(slab)                        # Plot slab using default settings
   b=vcs.init()                        # Construct VCS object
   template=b.gettemplate('AMIP')      # Get 'example' template object
   b.plot(slab,template)               # Plot slab using template 'AMIP'
   c=vcs.init()                        # Construct new VCS object
   isofill=c.getisofill('quick')       # Get 'quick' isofill graphics method
   c.plot(slab,template,isofill)       # Plot slab using template and isofill objects
   d=vcs.init()                        # Construct new VCS object
   isoline=c.getisoline('quick')       # Get 'quick' isoline graphics method
   c.plot(isoline,slab,template)       # Plot slab using isoline and template objects
