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.

  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.

  You can do quite complicated things.
