_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     A collection and description of functions which are useful
     utilities and tools in selectings characters, symbols and colors
     for plotting. 

     The plot utility functions are:

       'characterTable'  Table of Numerical Equivalents to Latin Characters,
       'symbolTable'     Table of plot characters, plot symbols,
       'colorTable'      Table of Color Codes and Plot Colors itself.

_U_s_a_g_e:

      
     characterTable(font = 1, cex = 0.7)
     symbolTable(font = par('font'), cex = 0.7)
     colorTable(cex = 0.7)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

font, cex: [*Table] - 
           an integer value, the number of the 'font', by default font 
          number 1, the standard font for the 'characterTable' or the
          current plot character font for the  'plotcharacterTable'.
          The character size is determined by the numeric value 'cex',
          the default size is 0.7. 

_V_a_l_u_e:

     'characterTable' 
      displays a table with the characters of the requested font. The
     character on line "xy" and column "z" of the table has  code
     '"\xyz"', e.g 'cat("\126")' prints: V for font  number 1. These
     codes can be used as any other characters. 


     'symbolTable' 
      displays a table with the plot characters numbered from 0 to 255. 

     'colorTable' 
      displays a table with the plot colors with the associated color
     number.

     ## Character Table for Font 2:
        characterTable(font = 1)
        
     ## Default Symbol Table:
        symbolTable()
         
     ## Color Table:
