<P>
 This command produces a density plot for either data contained in a
 matrix or a scattered set of points contained in three vectors.</p>
<P>
 <font size="+1" color="green">Density plot types</font></P>
<P>
 There are four types of density plot available.  The default, requiring no
 special qualifier, uses color gradients.  Other types are
 chosen by using the appropriate qualifier.</p>
<p>
<table>
<tr>
 <td><i>density plot types</i></td>
 <td><i>qualifier</i></td>
</tr><tr>
 <td>color gradients</td><td><CODE>\GRADIENTS</CODE> (default)</td>
</tr><tr>
 <td>dithering with points (grey scales)</td><td><CODE>\DITHERING</CODE></td>
</tr><tr>
 <td>diffusion with points (grey scales)</td><td><CODE>\DIFFUSION</CODE></td>
</tr><tr>
 <td>scaled rectangles</td><td><CODE>\BOXES</CODE></td></tr>
</table>
<P>
 <font size="+1" color="green">Draw axes</font></P>
<P>
 By default, axes are drawn for the density plot.  If the density plot is to be
 overlayed on an existing set of axes, use the <CODE>\-AXES</CODE> qualifier and no axes
 will be drawn. The axis scales will be left at their current values.</p>
<p>
 <font size="+1" color="green">Draw rectangular boundary</font></P>
<P>
 The <CODE>\BORDER</CODE> qualifier is valid only if matrix data is entered. By default, the
 rectangular boundary of the matrix is outlined within the axes. If you do not want this
 boundary to be drawn, use the <CODE>\-BORDER</CODE> qualifier.</P>
<p>
 <font size="+1" color="green">Zoom in</font></P>
<P>
 By default, the entire range of possible density levels will be used to
 determine the minimum and maximum density levels. If the
 <CODE>\PARTIAL</CODE> qualifier is used, the
 minimum and maximum density levels will be determined by the region contained
 within the axes. To zoom in on a particular region for more detail, pre-set
 the axis scales, using the
 <CODE><a href="../ScalesCommand/scalescommand.htm">SCALES</a></CODE> command, before entering the
 <CODE>DENSITY</CODE> command.</p>
<p>
 <font size="+1" color="green">Profiles</font></P>
<P>
 The qualifiers <CODE>\XPROFILE</CODE> and <CODE>\YPROFILE</CODE> are valid only if matrix
 data is entered.</p>
<p>
 If the <CODE>\XPROFILE</CODE> qualifier is used,
 the columns of the matrix are summed, the sums are normalized to be between
 <CODE>0</CODE> and <CODE>1</CODE>, and a histogram of the normalized sums is
 drawn horizontally across the top of the graph.</p>
<p>
 If the <CODE>\YPROFILE</CODE> qualifier is used,
 the rows of the matrix are summed, the sums are normalized to be between
 <CODE>0</CODE> and <CODE>1</CODE>, and a histogram of the normalized sums is
 drawn vertically along the right side of the graph.</p>
<p>
 When a profile is drawn, the axis borders must also be set to allow space for
 the profiles, that is, <CODE><a href="../Characteristics/Xaxis/xupperaxis.htm">XUPPERAXIS</a>
 </CODE> is set to <CODE>65%</CODE> if a legend is present or <CODE>85%</CODE>
 if there is no legend, and <CODE><a href="../Characteristics/Yaxis/yupperaxis.htm">YUPPERAXIS</a>
 </CODE> is set to <CODE>80%</CODE>.</p>
<p>
 By default, <CODE>XUPPERAXIS</CODE> and <CODE>YUPPERAXIS</CODE> are reset to their former values.
 If the <CODE>\-RESET</CODE> qualifier is used, the axis locations are not reset.</p>
