If false (the default), the scale on the y axis is linear; if true it is logarithmic.

B.12.2 Examples
Here are some examples of plot2d in use:
stilts plot2d in=cat.xml xdata=RMAG-BMAG ydata=BMAG
Plots a colour-magnitude diagram. Since no omode or out value has been specified, the plot is
posted directly to the graphics display for inspection. By adding the parameter
out=xyplot.eps the plot could be written to an Encapsulated Postscript file instead.
The generated plot is here.
stilts plot2d in=6dfgs_mini.xml xdata=RMAG-BMAG ydata=BMAG
subset1=SGFLAG==1 name1=galaxy colour1=blue
shape1=open_circle
subset2=SGFLAG==2 name2=star
colour2=e010f0 shape2=x size2=3
xlo=-1 xhi=4.5 ylo=10 yhi=20 xpix=500 ypix=250
out=xyplot2.png
Plots a colour-magnitude diagram with multiple subsets. The subsets are labelled "1" and "2"
with separate sets of parameters applying to each. The selections for the sets are given by the
subset* parameters; set 1 is those rows with the SGFLAG column equal to 1 and set 2 is those
rows with the SGFLAG column equal to 2. The boundaries of the plot in data coordinates are
set explicitly rather than being determined from the data (this is faster) and the plot size in
pixels is also set explicitly rather than taking the default values. Output is to a PNG file.
The generated plot is here.

You can do quite complicated things.

B.13 plot3d: Old-style 3D Scatter Plot
This section describes a deprecated command. It still works, but you are advised to use the more
capable plot2cube or plot2sphere instead.
performs three-dimensional scatter plots, sending the output to a graphical display or
writing it to a file in some vector or bitmapped graphics format. You need to supply it with values
