multidist is similar to dist except that it can produce multiple, overlaid frequency distributions, each from a separate data field (column). Except as noted below, all of the dist parameters may be used, and multidist was contributed as a backwards-compatible replacement for dist. Contributed by Marshall Rose; please forward any questions to him at mrose@dbc.mtview.ca.us


Parameters

overlay may be given as yes, which causes multiple distributions to be done. Each field (column) of the data will be tabulated individually and a distribution computed and plotted. The first row of the data gives the name for each category, and is used in the legend. A legend is always rendered. fld should not be supplied. xrange and yrange must be supplied. If overlay is not yes, multidist operates identically to dist prefab
rotate may be given as yes to rotate the data matrix (as seen in the above example).
All of the parameters (including standard parameters) supported by the dist prefab are also supported. In addition, the standard parameters related to legends are supported.
