 The `candlesticks` style is only relevant for 2-d data plotting of financial
 data.  Five columns of data are required; in order, these should be the x
 coordinate (most likely a date) and the opening, low, high, and closing
 prices.  The symbol is an open rectangle, centered horizontally at the x
 coordinate and limited vertically by the opening and closing prices.  A
 vertical line segment at the x coordinate extends up from the top of the
 rectangle to the high price and another down to the low.  The width of the
 rectangle may be changed by `set bar` (Note: bar ).  The symbol will be
 unchanged if the low and high prices are interchanged or if the opening and
 closing prices are interchanged.  See `set bar` and `financebars`
 (Note: financebars ).
