    -plot-name-range <java.lang.String> (property: plotNameRange)
        The range of columns to use for generating the plot name (overrides any 
        plot generator specific names); A range is a comma-separated list of single 
        1-based indices or sub-ranges of indices ('start-end'); 'inv(...)' inverts 
        the range '...'; column names (case-sensitive) as well as the following 
        placeholders can be used: first, second, third, last_2, last_1, last
        default: 
     
    -plot-name-separator <java.lang.String> (property: plotNameSeparator)

        default: 
     
    -num-points <int> (property: numPoints)
        The number of points to generate for the curves.
        default: 100
        minimum: 1
     
    -prefix <java.lang.String> (property: prefix)
        The prefix to use for the plot names.
        default: 
     
    -columns <java.lang.String> (property: plotColumns)
        The range of columns to include in the curves; A range is a comma-separated 
        list of single 1-based indices or sub-ranges of indices ('start-end'); '
        inv(...)' inverts the range '...'; column names (case-sensitive) as well 
        as the following placeholders can be used: first, second, third, last_2, 
        last_1, last
        default: 
     
    -meta-data-columns <java.lang.String> (property: metaDataColumns)
        The range of columns to add as meta-data in the plot; A range is a comma-separated 
        list of single 1-based indices or sub-ranges of indices ('start-end'); '
        inv(...)' inverts the range '...'; column names (case-sensitive) as well
