; :File_comments:
;    It is not possible to have a one-to-one mapping between every netCDF file and a map projection
;    in IDL, since IDL has a limited number of map projections and datums available. And, even at that,
;    I have not implemented all of IDL's map projections or datums, only those that I thought were most
;    likely to be encountered in my own work. If you run into a netCDF file that does not work in this
;    code (either because of an error in the code or because it is not supported), please contact me.
;    I am interested in supporting as many netCDF files as possible and I will take pains to do so if
;    I know they are needed.

; :History:
;     Converted from old ncdf_Coord program in Catalyst Library to run with Coyote Graphics routines.

; :Description:
;   The purpose of this function is to translate map projection information
;   found in a netCDF file into a map coordinate object (cgMap) that can be 
;   used to georeference images with a map data coordinate system. The Coyote 
;   Library is required.
;
; :Params:
;    ncdf_filename: in, optional, type=string  
;       The name of a netCDF file containing map projection information from
;       which a cgMap object can be created.
;       
; :Keywords:
;     ccolor: in, optional, type=string, default='Charcoal'
;         The name of a color the map continents should be displayed with. The default
;         is "charcoal". Color names are those supported by cgColor.
;     continents: in, optional, type=boolean, default=0
;         If a cgMap object is made successfully, then setting this keyword
;         will add a cgMapContinents object to the cgMap object.   
;     gcolor: in, optional, type=string, default='Gray'
;         The name of a color the map grid should be displayed with. The default
;         is "gray". Color names are those supported by cgColor.
;     grid: in, optional, type=boolean, default=0
;         If a cgMap object is made successfully, then setting this keyword
;         will add a cgMapGrid object to the cgMap object.  
;     mcolor: in, optional, type=string, default='Black'
;          The name of a color the map should be displayed in. (Normally the map
;          border and map title are displayed in this color.)
;     onimage: in, optional, type=boolean, default=0
;          Set this keword if the map object is to get its position from the last
;          cgImage command issued.
;     silent: in, optional, type=boolean, default=0
;          IDL cannot map every GeoTiff image to a supported map projection or datum.
;          Normally, if the GeoTIFF image is unsupported, an error message is issued.
;          Setting this keyword will suppress such error messages. If you do this, you
;          MUST check the SUCCESS keyword to see if the program ran successfully. (Of
;          course, it is a good idea to check it in any case!)
;     success: out, optional, type=boolean, default=0
;          An output variable that will contain a 1 if the map coordinate object was
;          created successfully. Or to a 0 if it was not created successfully.
;     title: in, optional, type=string, default=""                      
;          The title of the map projection.
;     use_latlon: in, optional, type=boolean, default=0
;          If this keyword is set, the boundary ranges will be forced to be determined 
;          from the latitude and longitude arrays in the file. 
;     xrange: out, optional, type=double
;          The discovered X projected meter range of the map projection.
;     yrange: out, optional, type=double
;          The discovered Y projected meter range of the map projection.
