%usage: \putfile{datafile}{OBJECT}
% The OBJECT is plotted at EACH of the coordinates read from the datafile.
% The idea of these macros is to generate (x,y) pairs using some program
% and then directly use those coordinates. Since TeX doesn't have real
% floating point calculations, it is much more efficient and accurate to do
% things this way. One can also use the unix facility 'spline' now to
% generate smooth curves with equidistant ``dots''.
% NOTE: the external file of coordinates must have x y pairs with a space
% between them. Also it is suggested that some extension such as '.put'
% be used for such datafiles to distinguish them in which case it must
% be explicitely specified in the 1st argument so that TeX doesn't look
% for a .tex extension.
% The % char remains valid as a comment char and such lines are ignored;
% however, there should be atleast one space after the second entry if a
% comment is on the same line as data since % eats up the newline.
