Māris.

Thank you. I searched the manual page to learn what the first and last lines
in the example meant, but didn't find what they represent.

So, on the top line 'L' means to draw lines, '5' means 5 data rows, and '1'
means one category. And on the bottom line the layer and category number are
defined.

I'll add a recommendation to add these explanations to the manual page on
the bug/feature request web page.

Best regards,
