           Read the file as an ascii file containing the
               data in columns (error column need not be given):
               x1 | x2 | y | error. Number separators are non-number
               characters, recommended are spaces or tabs.
               Comment lines which start with "#" will be skipped.

           (optional) parameters are ordered as follows:
            x1col - The column number for the X1 axis.
                    Default is column 0.

           errcol - The column number for the ERROR axis.
                    Default is column 2. Empty string skips the error
                    column.
