Automatically plot multiple stratigraphic series, with smoothing if desired

Automatically plot and smooth specified stratigraphic data, versus location. Data are smoothed with a Gaussian kernel if desired.

autoPlot(dat,cols=NULL,dmin=NULL,dmax=NULL,vertical=T,ydir=NULL,nrows=NULL,plotype=1,
        smooth=0,xgrid=1,output=F,genplot=T,verbose=T)

`dat`	Your data frame; first column should be location identifier (e.g., depth).
`cols`	A vector that identifies the columns to extract (first column automatically extracted).
`dmin`	Minimum depth/height/time for plotting.
`dmax`	Maximum depth/height/time for plotting.
`vertical`	Generate vertical stratigraphic plots? (T or F) If F, will generate horizontal plots.
`ydir`	Direction for stratigraphic axis in plots (depth,height,time). If vertical=T, then -1 results in values increasing downwards, while 1 results in values increasing upwards. If vertical=F, then -1 results in values increasing toward the left, while 1 results in values increasing toward the right.
`nrows`	Number of rows in figure (if vertical = T; otherwise this will be the number of columns).
`plotype`	Type of plot to generate: 1= points and lines, 2 = points, 3 = lines
`smooth`	Width (temporal or spatial dimension) for smoothing with a Gaussian kernel (0 = no smoothing); the Gaussian kernel is scaled so that its quartiles (viewed as probability densities, that is, containing 50 percent of the area) are at +/- 25 percent of this value.
`xgrid`	For kernal smoothing: (1) evaluate on ORIGINAL sample grid, or (2) evaluate on EVENLY SPACED grid covering range.
`output`	Output data frame of smoothed values? (T or F)
`genplot`	Generate summary plots (T or F)
`verbose`	Verbose output (T or F)
