New design of Plot Request.
<ol>
<li> Click an element of the tree hierachy on left panel to see/redefine the default plot options for selected element
	<br/><br/>

	<br/> 
<hr>	
<li><b><i>Page</i></b> :  self-explanatory;  <br/>
        <i>Epoch Superposed Mode</i> : if activated  all time intervals        
	(in a case of time table input) are plotted on the same page<br/> 
	<i>Font</i> : all axis tickmarks; axis titles; copyright;
	<br/><br/>  
		<img class="left" src="help/images/plot2.png"/>
	<br/>
<hr>      
<li> <b><i>Layout</i></b> : Defines the position of panels on the page.<br/>
      Two generic panel types : 'Time/Epoch' and 'XY (Scatter/Instant)';     
      <br/><br/>  
		<img class="left" src="help/images/plot3.png"/>
      <br/>
      <ol><b>Implemented Layouts</b>
	<li> <i>Vertical</i> : vertical stack of panels;<br/>
	all time panels are of the same width;<br/>
	one XY panel in the line;<br/>
	generic panel height (for Time and XY panel)<br/>
	and width (for XY panel) can be defined at this level
	<li><i>Auto</i> : automatic layout - if possible combines<br/>
	several XY panels at the same level;
	only panel height can be defined (XY panel is 'square')
	<li><i>Manual</i> : everything is to be defined by user
      </ol>
<hr>      
<li><b><i>Panel</i></b> : 
	<br/><br/>  
		<img class="left" src="help/images/plot4.png"/>
	<br/>
	Note : you can plot/save <i>Plot Template</i> : plot with empty panels 
	(add and configure panels without parameters).<br/>
	With <i>Prefered Dimensions</i> and <i>Font</i> options you may<br/> 
	redefine generic setting for this particular panel.<br/>
	<i>Background color</i> TBD to be defined for plot area only
	<br/><br/>
      
      <ol><b>Plot types:</b> define plot type associated with the corresponding panel.<br/> 
       Note that at the parameter level you specify parameter <i>Drawing Type</i>.<br/> 
       For example on one <i>Time Plot</i> panel you may plot several parameters<br/>
       with different drawing types (Serie, TickBar, StatusBar). 
       
       <li><i>Time Plot</i><br/>
       permits different Drawing Types :  Serie, Spectro, Tick Bar, Status Bar  
       
	<li><i>Scatter (XY) Plot</i><br/>
	permits Serie and Orbit Serie drawing types <br/>
	Y = Y(X) plot; <br/>
	parameter used as x is defined at parameter level by drag/drop from parameters tree.
	<br/><br/>  
		<img class="left" src="help/images/plot6.png"/>
	<br/>
	<i>Orbit Serie</i> is a special type of XY Plot developed for orbits 2D presentations. 
	<li><i>Epoch Plot</i><br/> 
	Input - Catalog with 'CenterTime' Column 
	
	<li><i>Instant Plot</i><br/>
	'instant spectrum' - 1D[2D] cut for 2D[3D] objects;<br/>
	TBD : add option for interchange axis : Y => X; X => Y <br/>
	Note: instant cut may be get also directly by right mouse click on spectrogram plot
	
	<li><i>Status Plot</i><br/> permits  only one drawing type - Status Bar.<br/>
	TBD
	
	<li><i>Tick Plot</i> permits  only one  drawing type - Tick Bar.<br/>
	Outputs parameter as tick values for major time ticks. <br/>
	Note: BUG: for some time intervals <b><i>NaN</i></b> is output. Bug is known and will be fixed.
      </ol>
<hr>       
<li><b><i>Axis</i></b> : 
       <ol>
       
       <li><i>Time Axis</i> : self-explanatory. <br/>
        In order not to plot time axe tickmarks and X-title on the panel uncheck
        <i>Legend</i> and <i>Show tick marks</i> checkboxes.

       <li><i>Y Left [Right] Axis</i> : self-explanatory.<br/>
        Y-title is constructed automatically.<br/>
        You may define Y-title yourself in the <i>Legend</i> block.<br/>
        Selection of <i>Left / Right</i> Y-axe (associated with parameter!!)<br/>
        is made at the <i>parameter</i> level.
     </ol>
<hr> 
<li><b><i>Parameter</i></b>
       <ol>       
	<li><b><i>Arguments :</i></b> two possibilities to select vector component<br/>
	- directly from parameter tree or by <b>Arguments</b> block.<br/>
	KNOWN BUG: Direct selection from the tree doesn't work for the moment <br/>   
	<br/><br/>

	<b>It is better to have only one vector component selection - which ????</b>
