This program read CTD NetCDF file and plot parameters vs PRES

positional arguments:
  files                 netcdf file to parse

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -a APPEND, --append APPEND
                        string to append in output filename
  -t {CTD,XBT,ADCP}, --type {CTD,XBT,ADCP}
                        select type instrument CTD, XBT or LADCP
  -p, --profiles, --profile
                        plot profiles
  -k KEYS [KEYS ...], --keys KEYS [KEYS ...]
                        select physical parameters key(s), (default: None)
  -l LIST [LIST ...], --list LIST [LIST ...]
                        select first and last profile, default (none) is all
  -e [EXCLUDE [EXCLUDE ...]], --exclude [EXCLUDE [EXCLUDE ...]]
                        give a list of profile(s) to exclude
  -c COLORS [COLORS ...], --colors COLORS [COLORS ...]
                        select colors, ex: k- b- r- m- g-
  -g, --grid            add grid
  -s, --sections, --section
                        plot sections
  --xaxis {LATITUDE,LONGITUDE,TIME}
                        select xaxis for sections
  --yscale [YSCALE [YSCALE ...]]
                        select vartical scale for sections, ex: 0 2000 or 0 250 250 2000
  --xinterp XINTERP     horizontal interpolation points
  --yinterp YINTERP     vertical interpolation step, none plot raw data
  --clevels CLEVELS     contour levels
  --autoscale [AUTOSCALE [AUTOSCALE ...]]
                        None:       use NetCDF valid min and max
                        True:       use min(Z) and max(Z)
                        [min, max]: define manually min and max
  --display, --display_profiles
                        display profiles number on top axes
