Difference between gsn generic and gsn_csm interfaces

The gsn_csm interfaces create more customized visualizations than the gsn generic interfaces, and, where possible, metadata is used for automatic labeling and coordinate information.

Some of the gsn_csm customizations include:

compare gsn_csm and gsn generic (filled contours)
compare gsn_csm and gsn generic (contours over maps)

Color maps
