<p>
<b>multidist</b> is similar to
<a href="../doc/prefab_dist.html">
dist
</a>
except that it can produce multiple, overlaid frequency distributions,
each from a separate data field (column).<tt> </tt>
Except as noted below, all of the
<a href="../doc/prefab_dist.html">
dist
</a>
parameters may be used, and <b>multidist</b> was contributed as
a backwards-compatible replacement for
<a href="../doc/prefab_dist.html">
dist.<tt> </tt>
</a>

<br><br><br>
<h2>Parameters</h2>
<dl>
<dt> <dd>
<b>overlay</b> may be given as <tt>yes</tt>, 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.
<b>fld</b> should <b>not</b> be supplied. <b>xrange</b> and <b>yrange</b> must be supplied.<tt> </tt>
If <b>overlay</b> is not <tt>yes</tt>, multidist operates identically to
<a href="../doc/prefab_dist.html">
dist prefab
</a>
<dt> <dd>
<b>rotate</b> may be given as <tt>yes</tt> to rotate the data matrix (as seen in
the above example).<tt> </tt>
<dt> <dd>
All of the parameters (including standard parameters) supported by
<a href="../doc/prefab_dist.html">
the dist prefab
</a>
are also supported. In addition, the
<a href="prefab_stdparms.html">
standard parameters
</a>
related to legends are supported.<tt> </tt>
