I think this is going to be a fun week! Thanks for all your hard work!
One thing that might be nice to add to FSC_Plot and FSC_PlotS is the
ability to specify an array for COLOR. I always find it a little silly
to have to wrap them in histogram + for loops just to plot multiple
colored points at once!
