PLOT/OPTOPUS [table] [label] [EW_flip_flag]
	plot positions of holes on Optopus plate.

Purpose:      
              Plot positions of holes on Optopus plate in X and Y
	      coordinates using different symbols for different
	      types of objects (big and small guidestars and scientific
	      targets). Each object is identified by a sequential
	      number. The limits of the so called "forbidden area" are
	      also shown.

Syntax:       
              PLOT/OPTOPUS [table] [label] [EW_flip_flag]
\ys\pa
	      [table]     = output table of REFRACTION/OPTOPUS command 
			    which contains :X and :Y columns.
			    Default name is "opto3.tbl".
\ap\pa
	      [label]     = label that will be used to identify the plot.
			    Default is "Optopus plate".
\ap\pa        
	      [EW_flip_f] = Character flag to enable or desable the
			    EAST-WEST flip of the plot, which may be
			    useful in some cases. Default is "N" for no.

Note:         
              Before using this command it is necessary to assign the
	      plotter one wants to use with the command:
	      ASSIGN/GRAPH plottername NOSPOOL and then, after successful
	      completion of PLOT/OPTOPUS, the plot is sent to the
	      plotter by: COPY/GRAPH plottername axes.plt (lowercase if
	      on UNIX machine!).
