... but you can wish to plot two dependent variables versus each other.
Example: a time series of carbon monoxide and ozone was measured and you
want to find out if the two correlate. It can become even worse: in the
example of ozone sondes your independent axis is certainly the y axis
(these things fly vertically!).

Let's put it this way: we wouldn't need something as powerful as IDL
if it was always dependent y versus independent x.

Cheers,
Martin
