    """Plotitem represents an item that can be plotted by gnuplot.

    For the finest control over the output, you can create 'PlotItems'
    yourself with additional keyword options, or derive new classes
    from 'PlotItem'.

    The handling of options is complicated by the attempt to allow
    options and their setting mechanism to be inherited conveniently.
    Note first that there are some options that can only be set in the
    constructor then never modified, and others that can be set in the
    constructor and/or modified using the 'set_option()' member
    function.  The former are always processed within '__init__'.  The
    latter are always processed within 'set_option', which is called
    by the constructor.

    'set_option' is driven by a class-wide dictionary called
    '_option_list', which is a mapping '{ <option> : <setter> }' from
    option name to the function object used to set or change the
    option.  <setter> is a function object that takes two parameters:
    'self' (the 'PlotItem' instance) and the new value requested for
    the option.  If <setter> is 'None', then the option is not allowed
    to be changed after construction and an exception is raised.

    Any 'PlotItem' that needs to add options can add to this
    dictionary within its class definition.  Follow one of the
    examples in this file.  Alternatively it could override the
    'set_option' member function if it needs to do wilder things.

    Members:

      '_basecommand' -- a string holding the elementary argument that
          must be passed to gnuplot's `plot' command for this item;
          e.g., 'sin(x)' or '"filename.dat"'.

      '_options' -- a dictionary of (<option>,<string>) tuples
          corresponding to the plot options that have been set for
          this instance of the PlotItem.  <option> is the option as
          specified by the user; <string> is the string that needs to
          be set in the command line to set that option (or None if no
          string is needed).  Example::

              {'title' : ('Data', 'title "Data"'),

            'inline=<bool>' -- send data to gnuplot "inline"?

        Note the unusual argument order!  The data are specified
        *before* the x and y values.  (This inconsistency was probably
        a mistake; after all, the default xvals and yvals are not very
        useful.)

        'data' must be a data array holding the values of a function
        f(x,y) tabulated on a grid of points, such that 'data[i,j] ==
        f(xvals[i], yvals[j])'.  If 'xvals' and/or 'yvals' are
        omitted, integers (starting with 0) are used for that
        coordinate.  The data are written to a temporary file; no copy
        of the data is kept in memory.

        If 'binary=0' then the data are written to a datafile as 'x y
        f(x,y)' triplets (y changes most rapidly) that can be used by
        gnuplot's 'splot' command.  Blank lines are included each time
        the value of x changes so that gnuplot knows to plot a surface
        through the data.

        If 'binary=1' then the data are written to a file in a binary
        format that 'splot' can understand.  Binary format is faster
        and usually saves disk space but is not human-readable.  If
        your version of gnuplot doesn't support binary format (it is a
        recently-added feature), this behavior can be disabled by
        setting the configuration variable
        'gp.GnuplotOpts.recognizes_binary_splot=0' in the appropriate
        gp*.py file.

        Thus if you have three arrays in the above format and a
        Gnuplot instance called g, you can plot your data by typing
        'g.splot(Gnuplot.GridData(data,xvals,yvals))'.
