TPLOT TURBO Linear plot.

TPLOT works in similar manner to PLOT but can display very large data
sets much faster. Zoom and resize are also much faster than PLOT.

TPLOT(X,Y) plots vector Y versus vector X. If X or Y is a matrix,
then the vector is plotted versus the rows or columns of the matrix,
whichever line up. The function asserts that X is uniformly spaced
monotonically increasing vector.
X can also be a 2 element vector [X0 X1], in which case the function
creates a uniformaly spaced vector X between these limits.
If X and/or Y are complex, the imaginary parts are ignored.

Please note that function creates and plots a set of local minima and
maxima. The use of the AXIS function after TPLOT may result in invalid
displayed data. To invoke the invoke the internal update_plot function
resize the figure or type:

zoom(1);

TPLOT(Y) plots the columns of Y versus their index.

Various line types, plot symbols and colors may be obtained with
TPLOT(X,Y,S) where S is a character string defining the linetype, marker and color (in the same manner as in the PLOT function).

Example:
N = 1e7;
x = 0:2*pi/(N-1):2*pi;
y = [sin(x) + randn(1,N); sin(x)];
tplot(x,y)

The function was successfully tested with data sets of 50 million points.
