		Implements a WMS (Web Map Service) client.
		
		.. note:: :func:`wmsclient` was primarily developed for Metview's user interface where it (as an icon) has a specialised editor that allows to inspect the GetCapabilities request and build and visualise the GetMap request. See the :ref:`Metview WMS Tutorial <metview_wms_tutorial>` for details.
		
		
		


		.. note:: This function performs the same task as the **WMS Client** icon in Metview’s :ref:`user interface <user_interface>`. It accepts its parameters as keyword arguments, described below.
