 The `boxes` style is only relevant to 2-d plotting.  It draws a box centered
 about the given x coordinate from the x axis (not the graph border) to the
 given y coordinate.  The width of the box is obtained in one of three ways.
 If it is a data plot and the data file has a third column, this will be used
 to set the width of the box.  If not, if a width has been set using the `set
 boxwidth` command, this will be used.  If neither of these is available, the
 width of each box will be calculated automatically so that it touches the
 adjacent boxes.
