<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>
Contributed by 
Marshall Rose; please forward any questions to him at
<tt>mrose@dbc.mtview.ca.us</tt> 

<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>
