1.1       matthew     1: \label{Authoring_Dynamic_Plot_Curve_Data}
                      2: 
                      3: The \textbf{data} tag is used to specify the values plotted in the 
1.5       raeburn     4: \textbf{gnuplot} tag (see ``Authoring Dynamically Generated Plots'' section 
1.4       raeburn     5: \ref{Authoring_Dynamic_Plot_Gnuplot}).
                      6: The \textbf{data} tag is only used in the \textbf{Curve} tag 
1.5       raeburn     7: (see ``Specifying Curves to Plot'' section \ref{Authoring_Dynamic_Plot_Curve}).
1.1       matthew     8: 
1.4       raeburn     9: The data must be either a perl array, \texttt{@X}, or a comma separated list,
1.6       raeburn    10: such as ``0.5,0.9,1.5, 2.4'' (without quotes).  `NaN' is a valid value. 
1.7     ! raeburn    11: Note the the ``Y'' values are entered in a separate array.
1.1       matthew    12: 
1.3       lira       13: The function and number of \textbf{data} tags required varies based on the 
1.5       raeburn    14: line style (see ``Data and Line Styles'' section \ref{Authoring_Dynamic_Plot_Linestyle}) chosen for the
1.3       lira       15: curve.  Some linestyles require extra arrays for supplemental information. 
                     16: In all cases the first \textbf{data} tag will hold the ``X'' values
1.1       matthew    17: and the second will hold the ``Y'' values.
                     18: 
                     19: All of the data sets in the \textbf{data} tag must have the same number of
1.4       raeburn    20: elements.
