      Numerous tasks support these values including PLOTR, STARS, and
      those tasks that plot the contents of STars files (CNTR, GREYS,
      KNTR, PCNTR, etc.)
Task:
  ALVAR.......Plots the Allan Variance statistic of a UV data set.
  ANBPL.......Plots and prints uv data converted to antenna based
              values.
  BLSUM.......Sums images over irregular sub-images, displays spectra.
  BPPLT.......Plots selected contents of bandpass (BP) files versus time.
  CAPLT.......Plots closure amplitude and model from CC file.
  CLOSE.......Plots closure phase or amplitude spectra averaged over
              closures.
