- One or 2 points. It would be nice to do like MultiplotH or MultiplotV for
- both horizontal and vertical, and also, it would be nice to have another
- parameter, like S, for STEP in points between each dot it makes, as im sure
- that not everyone wants the points next to each other all the time. For example
-
- For Y=0 to 31
- Multi Plot X,Y,32,S+Y*32,16
- Next Y
-
- And before execution, the extension works out where the points should be
- placed equally.

- Hope this helps
