function stat_plo(x,a,b)

% STAT_PLOT ... Scatter diagram plotting function.
%
%	STAT_PLOT(X,A,B) operates on the input data array X which must
%		have been generated by the MATLAB function PERSON_DATA.
%		The flags A and B specify which characteristics will
%		be extracted from the array X.	Allowable choices for
%		A and B are:
%
%			'age'           'height'        'weight'
%
%		The corresponding scatter diagram will be then displayed.
