Dots - plots data as 'lollipops'
<in.H Dots [options] | Tube
Plots a data plane, like 'Wiggle,' but lollipops on strings. Adapts default data format to values of n1,n2. Can put a separate label on each trace. (see labels=) Data area fills screen when title= label1= labels= are undefined.
A program somewhat like Wiggle, but better in some ways because it tries to be smarter. The output style depends on the input n1 and n2. For loosely packed traces with only a few data points Dots plots the data as lollipops on strings, showing each data point clearly. There are also options for separately labeling each trace, omitting dead traces, making bar graphs, etc. As n1 and n2 increase Dots by default simplifies the output and eventually behaves almost the same as Wiggle. Unfortunately Dots does not use the axis drawing and plotting routines shared by Wiggle, Contour, Graph and Ta2vplot, and so Dots' options and ouput plot size, position, and axes are currently incompatible with those for other plot programs.
[1] draw axes lines (=0 means don't) 0 default not to when n2>30 to avoid clutter
[1] draw strings from axis to balloons 0 default not to when n1>400 since too slow
[1] draw bottom axis
[1] draw the balloons 0 default not to when n1>130 since dots are small 2 draw dots only where signal is not zero.
[6] corners on area-filled polygon dots.
1 connect the dots on diagonal lines. 2 connect the dots as a bar graph. 3 bar graph with only horizontal bars. 4 connect dots only where signal is not zero. 0 don't connect adjacent values in any way.
your chosen clip value.
[.90] trace overlap at clip value
1 gain each trace independently (=0 gain all together)
0 trace separations depend on both max and min. 1 trace separation depends on max abs value.
0 plot dead traces as zero traces or don't plot them.
[0] wiggle traces 1 silk screen variable area(see SEP CD-ROM platter plot)
usual meaning
trace labels, i.e. labels=in:filt:out
[8] label size
[0] =1, reverse order of channels.
[0] flip axes. (Buggy for title and label1).
[1.] <1. for smaller plots, narrow plots, etc.
[1.] <1. for smaller plots, narrow plots, etc.
radius of the dot to be plotted. Defaults to some fraction of the screen width.

Needs pclip, you must preprocess for unusual clip needs.
