Candlestick Plot command to display a range of Y values
at each X value. This plot is commonly used to display the daily
high, low, opening, and closing stock values, although it can
be used for other data types. A vertical line is drawn between
the high and low values, and horizontal lines show the opening
and closing values. The opening value is a horizontal line to
the left of the hi-low vertical line, and the closing value is
a horizontal line to the right of the hi-low vertical line. Opening
and closing values are optional. The high values must be greater
than the low values. Hi-low-close plots may also be drawn as "candlestick"
plots where a box is drawn between the opening and closing values.
