Plot 3D figures

Parameters: ``Altitude``, ``Azimuth``, ``Contour``, ``NoMagColor``, ``Curtain``.

Advanced statistical plot
val probplot : ?h:handle -> ?spec:spec list -> ?dist:(float -> float) -> ?noref:bool -> dsmat -> unit

``probplot ~dist ~noref x`` creates a probability plot comparing the distribution of the data in ``x`` to the given distribution. The ``dist`` is set to standard normal distribution by default. When ``noref`` is set to ``true`` (default to be ``false``), the reference line will not be shown.

Note that in our implementation of probplot, we choose a Matlab-like definition: for the i-th point on the figure, x-axis is the sorted input sample data x.(i), and y-axis is the inverseCDF (for different ``dist``) of meadian ``(i - 0.5)/n``, where n is the length of input data,

The y-axis is to be updated to corrsponding probability ``p = cdf(y) * 100%``.

The same definition also applies to normplot and wblplot.

Parameters: ``RGB``, ``Marker``, ``MarkerSize``.

val normplot : ?h:handle -> ?spec:spec list -> ?sigma:float -> dsmat -> unit

``normalplot ~sigma x`` is probplot with normal distribution. User need to specify the ``sigma`` of distribution or the default value 1 will be used.

Parameters: ``RGB``, ``Marker``, ``MarkerSize``.

val wblplot : ?h:handle -> ?spec:spec list -> ?lambda:float -> ?k:float -> dsmat -> unit

``wblplot ~lambda ~k x`` is probplot with weibull distribution. Currently user need to specify the weibull distribution parameters ``lambda`` and ``k`` explicitly. By default, (lambda, k) = (1., 1.). ``wblplot`` applies log-scale on x-axis.

Parameters: ``RGB``, ``Marker``, ``MarkerSize``.

val qqplot : ?h:handle -> ?spec:spec list -> ?pd:(float -> float) -> ?x:dsmat -> dsmat -> unit

``qqplot ~pd ~x y `` displays a quantile-quantile plot of the quantiles of the sample data x versus the theoretical quantiles values from ``pd``, which by default is standard normal distribution. If the second argument ``x`` is a vector, the empirical CDF of it is used as the distribution of x-axis data, otherwise the qqplot is similar to ``probplot``, showing the inverseCDF of meadian ``(i - 0.5)/n`` on x-axis.

If input vectors are not of the same length, users are explected to input the longer one as x, and the shorter one y.

Parameters: ``RGB``, ``Marker``, ``MarkerSize``.

val image : ?h:handle -> dsmat -> unit

``image mat`` display a m * n matrix as image. Each element in the matrix is of range 0 ~ 255.
