# The Plot class
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

class Plot(DataView):
    """ Represents a correlated set of data, renderers, and axes in a single
    screen region.

    A Plot can reference an arbitrary amount of data and can have an
    unlimited number of renderers on it, but it has a single X-axis and a
    single Y-axis for all of its associated data. Therefore, there is a single
    range in X and Y, although there can be many different data series. A Plot
    also has a single set of grids and a single background layer for all of its
    renderers.  It cannot be split horizontally or vertically; to do so,
    create a VPlotContainer or HPlotContainer and put the Plots inside those.
    Plots can be overlaid as well; be sure to set the **bgcolor** of the
    overlaying plots to "none" or "transparent".

    A Plot consists of composable sub-plots.  Each of these is created
    or destroyed using the plot() or delplot() methods.  Every time that
    new data is used to drive these sub-plots, it is added to the Plot's
    list of data and data sources.  Data sources are reused whenever
    possible; in order to have the same actual array drive two de-coupled
    data sources, create those data sources before handing them to the Plot.

            two items: (cmap_scatter)
                Interpreted as (value, color_values).  Uses **default_index**.
            three or more items: (cmap_scatter)

        type : comma-delimited string of "line", "scatter", "cmap_scatter"
            The types of plots to add.
        name : string
            The name of the plot.  If None, then a default one is created
            (usually "plotNNN").
        index_scale : string
            The type of scale to use for the index axis. If not "linear", then
            a log scale is used.
        value_scale : string
            The type of scale to use for the value axis. If not "linear", then
            a log scale is used.
        origin : string
            Which corner the origin of this plot should occupy:
                "bottom left", "top left", "bottom right", "top right"
