functions and variables in bash
I have a bash script with some functions as below and am wondering if I can use the variables declared in setup in the other functions and in the rest of the bash script.

Code:
setup(){

  none=0; low=1; medium=2; high=3; debug=4

  var1="red"
  var2="fred"

}

create_basemap() {
   
 xminBse=$(( $xmin - 2.0 ))   
 xmaxBse=$(( $xmax + 2.0 ))   
 zminBse=$(( $zmin - 2.0 ))     
 zmaxBse=$(( $zmax + 2.0 )) 
  
 xpos=0   
 ypos=0   
 xpos=$xmin   
 ypos=$(( $zmax + 1.5 ))   
 title="Sound speed, c, Mm/min"   
 xDesc="Distance, x, Mm"   
 yDesc="Depth, z, Mm" 
  
 # Scale attributes   xpos=$(( $wtimap + 0.5 ))    
 ypos=$(( $htimap / 2.0 ))   
 sclen=$htimap   scwid=0.4   

 # Create the grid   
 xyz2grd $f.xzc -G$f.grd -I$vdx/$vdz -R$xmin/$xmax/$zmin/$zmax   # Create the color palette   makecpt -C$color -T$cmin/$cmax/0.005 -Z > $f.cpt   

 # Create the basemap    
 wtbmap=$(( $wtimap + 6 ))   
 htbmap=$(( $htimap + 5 ))   
 psbasemap -JX$wtbmap/$htbmap -R0/$wtbmap/0/$htbmap -B0 -K > $f.ps
}

create_contour() {
                           
 textPosx=`echo $xminBse | awk '{print $1 + 1.2}'`   
 textPosy=`echo $zmaxBse | awk '{print $1 - 1.2}'`   
 txt="$textPosx $textPosy 12 0.0 0 BL $fullname"   
 echo $txt | pstext -JX$wtbmap/$htbmap -R$xminBse/$xmaxBse/$zminBse/$zmaxBse -Wwhite -O -K >> $f.ps   
 # Display the image    
 grdimage $f.grd -JX$wtimap/$htimap -R$xmin/$xmax/$zmin/$zmax -C$f.cpt  -B$ax:"$xDesc":/$az:"$yDesc"::."$title":WSne -X2.5 -Y2 -O -K >> $f.ps   

 # Can use units on the contours if needed   
 units="Mm/min"   
 units=""   

 # Annotate contour lines every ${labeldistx} cm   
 contLabelDist=`echo $wtimap | awk '{print $1/2}'`   
 contLabelDist="d${contLabelDist}c"   

 # Include contour lines with annotations   
 grdcontour $f.grd -C$ctc -JX -A$cta+v+u$units -G$contLabelDist -B -R -O -K >> $f.ps  

}
