To scatter data points, the command datplc computes the places of the data points related to a given axis. It transforms the given data field according to the definitions which were set by the command axis (see Sect. 7.2.7). Several data sets identified by <setname> can be displayed with different colors.
Example (ex7.11): The x-axis is set according to the field "indus". When the parameter "<scaling>" is omitted, the minimum and maximum values of the axis are found from the given field. In other words, the default scaling function is "data". The same procedure is performed for the y-axis.
