Problems with arguments - Rdatasets example not work well.

[kojix2]

This is not a problem with rdatasets.

Rather, it is a problem with format_xyzc method.

GR.rb/lib/gr/plot.rb

Line 1369 in 3657a03

def format_xyzc(*args)

When you pass 2d ruby array as Z to methods like contour contourf, it will not work as expected.

contourf(Z)     # z is 2d ruby array or 2d numo array.
contourf(X,Y,Z) # x, y, z are 1d ruby array or 1d numo array.

This issue is complicated because sometimes these methods get multiple series.

contourf([Z,Z,Z])
contourf([[X,Y,Z],[X,Y,Z],[X,Y,Z]])

It is impossible to distinguish contourf([[X,Y,Z],[X,Y,Z],[X,Y,Z]]) from contourf(Z).
Maybe I have to reconsider APIs...

To better understand the problem, I need to list the types of arguments for each function...

To better understand this problem, we need to break Example down into smaller pieces and make it more like a unit test.
