function multiplot (xn, yn)

# usage: multiplot (xn, yn)
#
# Sets and resets multiplot mode
#
# If multiplot(0,0) then it will close multiplot mode and and if
# arguments are non-zero, then it will set up multiplot mode with
# xn,yn subplots along x and y axes. 
#
# NOTE: this will work only with gnuplot installed with
#       multiplot patch
