[Rivet] plotting two different ratios on same plot

[Andy Buckley]

Indeed, scripting using the YODA interface is what I'd have suggested if 
I'd not been on the road and out of contact yesterday! There are also 
some functions in yoda.plotting which can help with converting YODA 
objects to number arrays that could be used as input to matplotlib -- 
feedback on those would be great, since I've not had time to finish 
designing/iterating that "new" plotting system.

The make-plots system has served us very well and produces aesthetically 
very nice output -- better (IMHO) than anything I've yet managed to make 
with ROOT or matplotlib. But it is limited in functionality. I'd love to 
either replace it with a matplotlib-based system with equal-quality 
output (which I've failed to do so far) or to isolate the components 
into a library which can be used more programmatically. Being the 
ultimate back-burner project, progress on either route has been 
infinitely slow, but if others would be interested in making our 
plotting more flexible/powerful then let me know and maybe we can start 
a new branch for collaboratively developing that side of things.
