Thanks, Fraser:
Your workaround, without the x-offsets, works exactly the way I expect
'stick' plot to work (but not the way it does work). Unfortunately, I
can't always know before running the verb how many data sets I want to
plot. I can manually count the number of rows in my matrix and plot
them all separately in different colours, but I'm not too keen on that.
The spectra I really want to plot are represented as impulses rather
than as bar graphs, which is what makes the 'stick' form appropriate to
the task. Bar plots displace the x-value, which I don't want to happen.
I know that the larger-amplitude impulses will cover the smaller ones at
the same x-value, but that is what I want to be able to see. If they
are all the same colour, I can't tell which is which.
For now, I think I'll use the 'dot' or 'marker' forms of plot. Thanks
for pointing out the use of the individual 'pd' commands.

I am trying to plot three sets of data using the 'stick' plot
option. It plots the three graphs, but in a single colour, which
makes it difficult to see the differences between plots. Can someone
please help me to get the tree sets of impulse plots to plot in three
different colours, as per the default line plot?
eg
'stick' plot 1 2 3; 1 2 3, 2 1 6 ,: 3 0 9
Your command overlays the 'sticks' on the x locations (1,2,3
If you need 'sticks' try using the pd commands
pd 'reset'
pd 'type stick'
pd 'color blue'
pd 'pensize 4'
pd (1 2 3-0.05);1 2 3
pd 'color red'
pd 1 2 3;2 1 6
pd 'color aqua'
pd (1 2 3 +0.05);3 0 9
pd 'show'
Would the barchart capability provide all you need?
I am using Windows, but it should be fine in Linux.
