<br> --ylabelauto AutoSet Y label of all future plots.
<br>Data Object Modifiers
<br> -x <field>: Create vector and use as X vector for curves.
<br> -e <field>: Create vector and use as Y-error vector for next -y.
<br> -r <rate>: sample rate (spectra & spectograms).
<br>Data Objects:
<br> -y <field> plot an XY curve of field.
<br> -p <field> plot the spectrum of field.
<br> -h <field> plot a histogram of field.

<br>
<br>****************
<br>*** Examples ***
<br>
<br>Data sources and fields:
<br>Plot all data in column 2 from data.dat.
<br> kst data.dat -y 2
<br>
<br>Same as above, except only read 20 lines, starting at line 10.
<br> kst data.dat -f 10 -n 20 -y 2
<br>
<br>... also read col 1. One plot per curve.
<br> kst data.dat -f 10 -n 20 -y 1 -y 2
<br>
<br>Read col 1 from data2.dat and col 1 from data.dat
<br> kst data.dat -f 10 -n 20 -y 2 data2.dat -y 1
<br>
<br>Same as above, except read 40 lines starting at 30 in data2.dat
<br> kst data.dat -f 10 -n 20 -y 2 data2.dat -f 30 -n 40 -y 1
<br>
<br>Specify the X vector and error bars:
<br>Plot x = col 1 and Y = col 2 and error flags = col 3 from data.dat
<br> kst data.dat -x 1 -e 3 -y 2
<br>
<br>Get the X vector from data1.dat, and the Y vector from data2.dat.
<br> kst data1.dat -x 1 data2.dat -y 1
<br>
<br>Placement:
<br>Plot column 2 and column 3 in plot P1 and column 4 in plot P2
<br> kst data.dat -P P1 -y 2 -y 3 -P P2 -y 4
