PlotGraph
Generates a two dimensional xy plot using the GMT Generic Mapping Tools (https://www.generic-mapping-tools.org). A variety of image file formats are supported (e.g. png, jpg, eps) determined by the extension of outputfile.
The plotting area is defined by the two axes axisX/Y. An alternative axisY2 on the right hand side can be added. The content of the graph itself is defined by one or more layers.
The plot programs create a temporary directory in the path of outputfile, writes all needed data into it,
generates a batch/shell script with the GMT commands, execute it, and remove the temporary directory.
With setting options:removeFiles=false the last step is skipped and it is possible to adjust the plot manually
to specific publication needs. Individual GMT settings are adjusted with options:options="FORMAT=value",
see https://docs.generic-mapping-tools.org/latest/gmt.conf.html.
