class GXY(__builtin__.object)
    Class: GXY                             # XvsY
 
Description of GXY Class:
   The XvsY graphics method displays a line plot from two 1D data arrays, that is
   X(t) and Y(t), where t represents the 1D coordinate values. The example below
   shows how to change line and marker attributes for the XvsY graphics method.
 
   This class is used to define an XvsY table entry used in VCS, or it can be 
   used to change some or all of the XvsY attributes in an existing XvsY table
   entry.
 
Other Useful Functions:
         a=vcs.init()                  # Constructor
         a.show('xvsy')                # Show predefined XvsY graphics methonds
         a.show('line')                # Show predefined VCS line objects
         a.show('marker')              # Show predefined VCS marker objects
         a.setcolormap("AMIP")         # Change the VCS color map
         a.xvsy(s1, s2, ,x,'default')  # Plot data 's1' and 's2' with XvsY 'x'
                                          and 'default' template
         a.update()                    # Updates the VCS Canvas at user's request
         a.mode=1, or 0                  If 1, then automatic update, else if
                                         0, then use update function to
                                         Update the VCS Canvas.
 
Example of Use:
   a=vcs.init()
   To Create a new instance of XvsY use:
    xy=a.createxvsy('new','quick')     # Copies content of 'quick' to 'new'
    xy=a.createxvsy('new')             # Copies content of 'default' to 'new'
 
   To Modify an existing XvsY use:
    xy=a.getxvsy('AMIP_psl')
 
   xy.list()                           # Will list all the XvsY attribute values
   xy.projection='linear'              # Can only be 'linear'
   lon30={-180:'180W',-150:'150W',0:'Eq'}
   xy.xticlabels1=lon30
   xy.xticlabels2=lon30
   xy.xticlabels(lon30, lon30)         # Will set them both
   xy.xmtics1=''
   xy.xmtics2=''
   xy.xmtics(lon30, lon30)             # Will set them both
   xy.yticlabels1=lat10
   xy.yticlabels2=lat10
   xy.yticlabels(lat10, lat10)         # Will set them both
   xy.ymtics1=''
   xy.ymtics2=''
   xy.ymtics(lat10, lat10)             # Will set them both
   xy.datawc_y1=-90.0
   xy.datawc_y2=90.0
   xy.datawc_x1=-180.0
   xy.datawc_x2=180.0
   xy.datawc(-90, 90, -180, 180)       # Will set them all
   xaxisconvert='linear'
   yaxisconvert='linear'
   xy.xyscale('linear', 'area_wt')     # Will set them both
 
   Specify the XvsY line type:
    xy.line=0                         # same as xy.line = 'solid'
    xy.line=1                         # same as xy.line = 'dash'
    xy.line=2                         # same as xy.line = 'dot'
    xy.line=3                         # same as xy.line = 'dash-dot'
    xy.line=4                         # same as xy.line = 'long-dash
 
   Specify the Xvsy line color:
   xy.linecolor=16    # color range: 16 to 230, default color is black
   xy.linewidth=16    # width range: 1 to 100, default color is black
 
   Specify the XvsY marker type:
    xy.marker=1                        # Same as xy.marker='dot'
    xy.marker=2                        # Same as xy.marker='plus'
    xy.marker=3                        # Same as xy.marker='star'
    xy.marker=4                        # Same as xy.marker='circle'
    xy.marker=5                        # Same as xy.marker='cross'
    xy.marker=6                        # Same as xy.marker='diamond'
    xy.marker=7                        # Same as xy.marker='triangle_up'
    xy.marker=8                        # Same as xy.marker='triangle_down'
    xy.marker=9                        # Same as xy.marker='triangle_left'
    xy.marker=10                       # Same as xy.marker='triangle_right'
    xy.marker=11                       # Same as xy.marker='square'
    xy.marker=12                       # Same as xy.marker='diamond_fill'
    xy.marker=13                       # Same as xy.marker='triangle_up_fill'
    xy.marker=14                       # Same as xy.marker='triangle_down_fill'
    xy.marker=15                       # Same as xy.marker='triangle_left_fill'
    xy.marker=16                       # Same as xy.marker='triangle_right_fill'
    xy.marker=17                       # Same as xy.marker='square_fill'
    xy.marker=None                     # Draw no markers
 
   There are four possibilities for setting the marker color index (Ex):
    xy.markercolors=22                 # Same as below
    xy.markercolors=(22)               # Same as below
    xy.markercolors=([22])             # Will set the markers to a specific
                                       #       color index
    xy.markercolors=None               # Color index defaults to Black
 
   To set the XvsY Marker sizie:
    xy.markersize=5
    xy.markersize=55
    xy.markersize=100
    xy.markersize=300
    xy.markersize=None
