Two sets of data points are maintained: those used for fitting and those exchanged with C-PLOT and used for plotting. When the fit is configured for more than one independent variable, these commands affect how the fit data points are assigned to C-PLOT data when using the md, mr and ps commands and how the C-PLOT data is assigned to the fit data with the pg command.

If the fit is configured with only one independent variable, only 2D exchange mode is available.

In 2D exchange mode, the default independent variable for transferring data for the pg, ps, md and mr commands is x1. To use a different variable, specify its number on the command line. The ps, md and mr commands set C-PLOT x, y and possibly (with mr and ps) y error-bar values -- C-PLOT x error bars are set to 0. For the pg command, only values for one independent variable are read in. The values of the other independent variables, if any, are left unchanged. When there is more than one independent variable, the md command increments each from the entered starting value to the entered finishing value.

In 3D exchange mode, the default independent variables for exchanging data are x1 and x2. To use different variables, specify their numbers on the command lines to pg, ps, md and mr . The ps, md and mr commands set the C-PLOT z data from the fit dependent variable. For the md command, you can set the range and the number of intervals for the two independent variables to be transferred to the C-PLOT x and y data. You enter constant values for any other independent variables. Depending on the ranges and number of intervals give for the independent variables, the trajectory in the x - y data sent to C-PLOT can form a grid or a line. When making a grid of data, line-control information is added to that data so that when the data points are drawn with lc mode on and a line symbol selected, the line will be restarted each time y = ymin.
