// This draws a box around the current viewport, complete with axes,

// x0 and y0 specify the origin of the axes.

// xopt and yopt are character strings which define the box as follows:
//
// a: Draw axis (X is horizontal line Y=0, Y is vertical line X=0)
// b: Draw bottom (X) or left (Y) frame of box
// c: Draw top (X) or right (Y) frame of box
// d: Interpret axis as a date/time when writing labels
// f: Always use fixed point numeric labels
// g: Draws a grid at the major tick interval
// h: Draws a grid at the minor tick interval
// i: Inverts tick marks
// l: Logarithmic axes, major ticks at decades, minor ticks at units
// n: Write numeric label at conventional location
// m: Write numeric label at unconventional location
// o: Label text is generated by a user-defined function
// t: Draw major tick marks
// s: Draw minor tick marks
// u: like b (including all side effects such as tick marks and numerical
// labels for those) except exclude drawing the edge.
// w: like c (including all side effects such as tick marks and numerical
// labels for those) except exclude drawing the edge.
// v: (for Y only) Label vertically
// x: like t (including the side effect of the numerical labels for the major
// ticks) except exclude drawing the major and minor tick marks.
//
// xtick, ytick are the major tick intervals required, zero for
// automatic selection
//
// nxsub, nysub are the number of subtick intervals in a major tick
// interval
