  dpi = 150,
  iwidth = 1242,
  logo = TRUE,
  copyright = TRUE,
  bluemarble = FALSE,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

config	filename of configuration file. This may include the directory (character).
filelist	list of NetCDF file to create plots from (character).
outpath	directory in which to save the output files. (character).
jpeg_quality	jpeg quality for the image in percent, see grDevices::jpeg()
dpi	resolution of the image in dots per inch, see grDevices::jpeg()
