generate eye diagram from spice sim result

% Evaluate expression, invoking signal names from structure x.
% Usage: y = evalsig(x, expr)
% Note that numeric node names should be prepended by '@' to
% distinguish them from constants.  If the global variable
% 'sweep' exists and is non-zero, a single curve is selected
% from multiple SPICE parameter sweeps.  Setting sweep=0
% returns data for all sweeps.
