## Installation
First, clone the package, and get any plotting packages you need (obviously, you should get at least one backend):
First, clone the package
```julia

then get any plotting packages you need (obviously, you should get at least one backend):
```julia

Pkg.clone("https://github.com/tbreloff/Qwt.jl.git") # [optional] requires pyqt and pyqwt

## Use
Load it in. The underlying plotting backends are not imported until `plotter()` is called (which happens
on your first call to `plot`). This means that you don't need any backends to be installed when you call `using Plots`.
on your first call to `plot` or `subplot`). This means that you don't need any backends to be installed when you call `using Plots`.
Plots will try to figure out a good default backend for you automatically based on what backends are installed.

[TODO] You can swap out `plot` for `subplot`. Each line will go into a separate plot. Use the layout keyword:
With `subplot`, create multiple plots at once, with flexible layout options:
```julia
y = rand(100,3)
