; Procedure: plotxy
;
; Purpose: Takes an array of 3-d(Nx3) vectors or tplot variable
;          and plots them using 2-d plots to help visualize them. 
;          It can also take an MxNx3 array tplot variable storing 
;          an MxNx3 array which represents a set of M lines with N
;          points 
;
;         Can also accept an Nx2 or an MxNx2 element array...if this
;         is done the versus argument should not use a custom
;         designation or the z-axis, as it assumes 2-d vectors are in
;         the x-y plane, and thus will distort the vectors upon projection.
;
;          
;         plotxy/tplotxy plots can be interleaved on the same window
;         with plotxyz & plotxyvec plots
;
;         Calling tplotxy with no arguments to redraw the entire
;         window(including plotxyz,plotxyvec plots)
;
;         ***************************************************
;
;         Using custom axes:  If you use two vectors to define custom
;         axes, the procedure will generate a plot of the data vectors
;         projected into a plane defined by the span of the two custom
;         vectors.  The x-axis will be the first vector, the y axis
;         will be the second vector.  This means that if the custom
;         vectors are not orthogonal the plot will show a distortion.
;         You can think of this as plotting along a plane that slices
;         though the 3-d space.
; 
;         ********************************
;         Plot windows and panels:
;         using, /overplot,/addpanel,/noisotropic and multi=
;
;         To put multiple panels in a window first call
;         plotxy with the multi keyword.  It will either
;         plot in which ever window is your current one, or
;         create a new one if no window exists or if you 
;         request the use of a nonexistent window.
;
;         During this first call you may want to specify things
;         like wtitle,xsize,ysize,window...in addition to your normal
;         plotting options. However,Calling window options will interfere with
;         the creation of postscripts. 
;
;         multi specifies the plot window panel layout.
;         So if you set multi='3,2' you will get 6 plots
;         in your window with a layout like:
;           -------
;           |x x x|
;           |x x x|      
;           -------
;
;         Each panel will have dimensions x number of pixels = 1/3 *
;         xsize of window and y number of pixels = 1/2 * ysize of window.
;
;         Your first call should also specify the layout of your 
;         first panel. To add to that panel use the /overplot keyword.
;         
;         If you wish to add an overall title and/or margins to your multi panel 
;         window your first call should also specify mtitle and/or mmargin.
;         
;         When you use the /add keyword the program will move on to
;         the next panel within the plot window and you should add
;         options to specify the layout of that panel. 
; 
;         If you set the xmargin or ymargin keyword the margin will be
;         relative to the overall size of that panel. When using the
;         not using the noisotropic keyword the procedure will make
;         each axis vary over the same range AND make the
;         largest possible square window given the size of the panel
;         and the sizes of the margins you have provided, if possible.
;         In some cases when ranges are set explictly the plot must
;         be rectangular.
;
;         An entire plot window is filled in sequence, if you move
;         on to a new window you will not be able to go back to the
;         previous panel without restarting.
;         It is possible use a panel out of sequence by setting mpanel.
;         mpanel also allows you to create non symmetric layouts by
;         creating plots that take up more than one panel.
;
;         If you call plotxy with no arguments it will redraw the
;         entire window including all panels and overplots.  If you
;         resize the window before calling with new arguments it
;         will redraw the isotropic panels as the largest possible
;         squares.  This comes at a cost of storing copies of the 
;         commands and data you made in memory.  If you need to save
;         memory you can call the function with the /memsave argument,
;         but then redraws will be done using hardware and window resizes
;         can distort isotropic plots.
;
;         NOTE TO PROGRAMMERS:
;           Information about plotting for plotxy is stored in
;           the global variable !TPLOTXY, this includes
;           information about the layout of the plot window
;           which panel it is currently working on, and the 
;           sequence of commands used to generate current plot window
;           so that it can regenerate the plotwindow when called
;           with no arguments. This variable also stores information
;           used by the plotxyz function so spectrographic xyz plots 
;           can be interleaved with xy line plots.
;  
;
;Example: a = [[dindgen(10)],[dindgen(10)],[dindgen(10)]]
;         get_data,'thb_state_pos',data=d
;         dat=d.y
;         plotxy
;         plotxy,a
;         plotxy,a,versus='yzr'
;         plotxy,dat,versus='cc',custom=transpose([[1,1,0],[0,0,1]])
;         plotxy,dat,versus='xryz',xrange=[0,10],yrange=[0,10]
;
;Note: Recommend using the keyword /noiso if you're wondering why your plot has a weird aspect ratio.
;
; Inputs: vectors(optional): an Nx3,MxNx3,Nx2, or MxNx2 list
;
; Keywords:
;
;         versus(optional): specify the projection to be used, can be
;         'xx','xy','xz','yx','yy','yz','zx','zy','zz','cc' you can also
;         follow a letter with an 'r' to reverse the axis(goes from
;         positive to negative instead of from negative to positive) 
;         if you specify 'cc','crc'...that indicate you want to use a
;         custom projection
;         example: 'xry' will be an xy plot with the maximum x value
;         listed on the left and the minimum on the right 
;         (default:'xy')
;
;         custom(optional): set this variable to a
;         2x3 matrix whose columns define a plane in 3-d space, to define a
;         custom projection. In other words the 2-d plot will be a
;         plot of the vectors passed into plotxy when they are
;         projected into a plane defined by
;         span(custom[0,*],custom[1,*]). (span is defined as the set
;         of all the linear combinations of two vectors, or 
;         span(x,y) = {mx+ny:m = element of the reals, n = element of
;         the reals} The vectors used to define this plane will be
;         relative to whatever 3-d coordinate system the input vector
;         data is in.
;         So if the call:
;         tplotxy,'somedata',versus='cc',custom=transpose([[1,1,0],[0,0,1])
;         is made, the plot generated will be of the vectors closest
;         to the data vectors that are inside a vertical plane whose
;         intersection with the x-y plane forms a line y=x.
;         tplotxy,'somedata',versus='cc',custom=transpose([[1,0,0],[0,1,0])
;         is effectively the same as:
;         tplotxy,'somedata',versus='xy'
;  
;         overplot(optional): set this keyword if you want to plot
;         on the last plot and panel that you plotted on
;
;         addpanel(optional): set this keyword if you want to plot on a new
;         panel within the same plot window as where you last
;         plotted. This will go to the next column first and if it is
;         at the end of a row, to the next row.
;
;         multi(optional): set this keyword to a string that 
;         specifies the layout of panels within a plotwindow.  Set
;         this keyword only the first time you call tplotxy for a 
;         given plotwindow.  Each time you set it, the previous
;         contents of the window will be erased. You can separate
;         the two elements with a variety of different delimiters
;         The first element is columns left to right, the second rows
;         top to bottom. Append an 'r' to the elements to have it
;         reverse the direction of panel application
;         Examples:  multi= '2 3' 
;                    multi= '5r,7'
;                    multi=' 1:6r'
;                     .....
;         
;         mmargin(optional, can only be used if multi is also specified): 
;         set this keyword to a 4 element array specifying margins to be left
;         around a multipanel plot. Element order is bottom, left, top, right.
;         Margins are specified relative to the overall size of the window: 
;         0.0 is no margin, 1.0 is all margin. 
;             e.g. mmargin=[0.1,0.1,0.15.0.1]
;                    
;         mtitle(optional, can only be used if multi is also specified):
;         set this keyword to a string to display as a title for a multi panel
;         plot window. This is displayed in addition to any titles specified for
;         individual panels.
;         If the top mmargin = 0, or has not been set then it will be set at 0.05
;         to allow room for the title. 
;         It is not possible to set your own font size for the mtitle. The size is
;         chosen so that as much as possible the title fits in the top margin and 
;         is not too long for the window. Setting a larger top mmargin will
;         increase the font size. NB: Size is fixed you are saving your plot
;         to a postscript. If you require more control over the title format
;         try leaving space using mmargin and adding your own text with idl 
;         procedure XYOUTS.
;         
;         mpanel(optional, can only be used if multi is also specified):
;         set this keyword to a string to specify which panels in a multipanel window
;         to plot to. This allows you to create non symmetric plot layouts in a multi
;         panel window.
;         mpanel must contain two numbers separated by a comma (col, row) or two ranges
;         indicated with a colon, separated by a comma.
;         Panels are numbered starting at 0, from top to bottom and from
;         left to right. 
;             e.g. mpanel = '0,1' will plot to panel in the first column,
;                       second row; 
;                  mpanel = '0:1,0' will create a plot that takes up both the first
;                       and second columns in the first row.
;         You cannot plot to a panel if that panel has already been used.
;         Panels in a window are normally filled from left to right, top to bottom. You
;         can use mpanel to place a plot out of this standard sequence.
;          
;         noisotropic(optional): set this keyword if you don't want the
;         scaling of both axes to be the same and the space to
;         be perspective corrected so that a cm of y unit takes
;         up the same space on the screen as a cm of x unit
;         
;         xistime(optional): set this keyword if you want to treat the x-axis
;         as a time axis and use tplot-style time labels
;
;         memsave(optional): set this keyword to request command
;         copies not be saved and redraws be done without maintaining
;         square isotropic plots.  Setting this option can potentially
;         save quite a lot of memory.
;
;         linestyle(optional):set this to change the linestyle used
;         0 = default,1=dotted=,2=dashed,3=dash dot,4=dash dot
;         dot,5=long dashes
;
;         xrange(optional): set this to a 2 element array to specify
;         the min and max for the first axis(x) of the 2-d plot
;
;         yrange(optional): set this to a 2 element array to specify
;         the min and max for the second axis(y) of the 2-d plot
;
;         pstart(optional): set this keyword to a number representing
;         the symbol you would like to start lines with. (This works
;         like the idl psym keyword, but only for the first symbol
;         in a line being plotted)
;       
;         startsymcolor(optional): Set this keyword to a color table number
;         or letter(e.g. 'm') to control the color of the pstart symbol separately
;         from the color= keyword
;
;         pstop(optional): set this keyword to a number representing
;         the symbol you would like to end lines with. (This works
;         like the idl psym keyword, but only for the last symbol
;         in a line being plotted)
;
;;        stopsymcolor(optional): Set this keyword to a color table number
;         or letter(e.g. 'm') to control the color of the pstop symbol separately
;         from the color= keyword
;
;         psym(optional): use this to plot the line using a symbol
;         rather than a line.
;
;         symsize(optional): specify the size of the start and end
;         symbol or psym. (default:1.0)
;
;         WARNING: setting any of the 4 windowing options below
;         will interfere with postscripts
;
;         window(optional):specify the window for
;         output, if overplot is not specified, it will
;         always recreate the window so it can attempt to make
;         the window square (default:current)
;
;         xsize(optional):specify the xsize of the window in
;         pixels(default: current)
;
;         ysize(optional):specify the ysize of the window in pixels
;         (default: current)
;
;         wtitle(optional):the title you would like the window to have
;
;         colors(optional): if vectors in Nx3 colors should contain a
;         single element(name like 'r' or index like 2), if vectors is
;         an MxNx3 then it can contain a single element or M elements
;
;         xmargin(optional): set this option to a two element array
;         specifing the size of the margin of the current panel
;         relative to the size of overall panel on the x dimension.
;         Values range from 0.0(no margin) to 1.0(all margin)
;         The first element of the array is the left margin
;         The second element is the right margin
;
;         ymargin(optional): set this option to a two element array
;         specifing the size of the margin of the current panel
;         relative to the size of overall panel on the y dimension.
;         Values range from 0.0(no margin) to 1.0(all margin)
;         The first element of the array is the bottom margin and
;         The second element of the array is the top margin
;
;         xlog(optional): set the x scale to be logarithmic
;
;         ylog(optional): set the y scale to be logarithmic
;
;         xtitle(optional): set the xtitle for the plot
;
;         ytitle(optional): set the ytitle for the plot
;
;         grid(optional): set this to 1 to have the procedure
;         generate a grid rather than normal tickmarks
;
;         units(optional): set this if you want this unit label
;         appended to both axis titles.(This will be ignored if 
;         you set the xtitle or ytitle explictly) 
;
;         labels(optional): set this if you want to use the axis
;         labels array from limits/dlimits of a tvar.(This will be 
;         ignored if you set the xtitle or ytitle explictly) 
;
;;        markends: This keyword is deprecated.  You can use
;         all the normal options for plot to manipulate the 
;         position of the ticks on the axes. 
; 
;         xtick_get,ytick_get: These behave exactly as the plot
;         command versions, but they had to be identified explictly
;         to ensure they would be passed through correctly.
;             
;         replot(internal): this option is used in recursive calls
;         by the routine to itself and should never be set by the
;         user  
;       
;         This function also takes normal idl keywords that effect
;         plotting style(things like xtitle,ytitle....etc..)
;         
;         get_plot_pos=get_plot_pos: Return the normalized position of your plot.
;             Output will be a 4-element array [x1,y1,,x2,y2]
;             Where (x1,y1) is the lower-left corner of your plot and
;             (x2,y2) is the top right corner of your plot.
