[reflabel]: label of the reference values in the graph
[mark]: ',' list of kind of markers (single value for the same for all values)
[col]: ',' list of color of markers (single value for the same for all values)
[size]: ',' list of sizes of markers (single value for the same for all values)
[labels]: ',' list of label of markers ('None' for without)
[kindlabels]: kind of labels in plot
'markfollow': on top of the mark of each pair of stddev, corr
'legend',[loc],[charsize]: as a traditional legend and [loc] position [charsize] (size of labels, 'auto' for 12)
1: 'upper right', 2: 'upper left', 3: 'lower left', 4: 'lower right',
5: 'right', 6: 'center left', 7: 'center right', 8: 'lower center',
