| - Create a Magics python skeleton that displays a global map using the plot command
- Create and use an output object to set-up name and format of your output
- Improve mcoast to taylor the coastlines.
- Add a mtext object to add some texts.

...
First step
In order to be able to create and use Magics objects, the Magics python package has to be imported.

Create a postscript file called ps.ps, mcoast() create a default coastlines object. |

Setting the output
The object outputallows the definition of the output format, and the settings of the output file name .

output = output(
output_formats = ['png'],
output_name = "magics",
output_name_first_page_number = "off"
)
#The plot commad will create a png output called magics.png
plot(output, mcoast()) |
Setting the coastlines
The object mcoast allows the parametrisation of the coastlines.
Have a look at the Coastlines documentation to see which parameters are available.
To configure the look of your coastlines you have to create a mcoast object with the parameters you want.
The object has to be inserted in the plot command.
