Scatter plots are often useful for identifying outliers or clusters of data. This function makes it easy to identify the row numbers of identified points. If the scatter plot is created from a table, the function can also return a sub table containing other table variables.
Please run scatterpoints_demo.mlx to see examples of the functionality.
