7.3.1.10 Creating Multiple Displays
...................................

To display several successive objects of the same type (a section of an
array, or an array of dynamically determined size), you can use the
notation `FROM..TO' in display expressions.

   FROM and TO are numbers that denote the first and last expression to
display.  Thus,

     graph display argv[0..9]

creates 10 new displays for `argv[0]', `argv[1]', ..., `argv[9]'.  The
displays are clustered automatically (Note: Clustering), such that
you can easily handle the set just like an array.

   The `FROM..TO' notation can also be used multiple times.  For
instance,

     graph display 1..5 * 1..5

creates a handy small multiplication table.

   The `FROM..TO' notation creates several displays, which takes time
to create and update.  If you want to display only a part of an array,
_array slices_ are a more efficient way.  Note: Array Slices, for a
discussion.
