A plotter is an active object that pulls events from an
eventSource, incorporates them in a circular buffer of
events, and maintains a graph showing event values vs.
event times.
PointShape:
TYPE = {none, filledBox, emptyBox, filledDiamond,
emptyDiamond, dot, circle};
Connectivity: TYPE = {solid, dotted, dashed, dotDash, vertical};

This low-level procedure is used by Create.
The two RealVec.Object's must have the same length.
CreatePlotViewer creates a graph of
verticalAxis[i] vs. horizontalAxis[i]
for i IN [0..verticalAxis.length)
Subsequent changes to the two RealVec.Object's will be
reflected in the graph when it is repainted
(via ViewerOps.PaintViewer). For the purpose of connecting
adjacent data points with lines, adjacency of values in
verticalAxis is determined by the sort order of
corresponding values in horizontalAxis.
