	\paragraph{Syntax}
 
 \begin{verbatim}
 [h,range] = area(x,...)
 [h,range] = area(range,x,...)
 [h,range] = area(a,range,x,...)
 \end{verbatim}
 \paragraph{Input arguments}
 
 \begin{itemize}
 \item
   \texttt{a} {[} numeric {]} - Handle to axes in which the graph will be
   plotted; if not specified, the current axes will used.
 \item
   \texttt{range} {[} numeric {]} - Date range; if not specified the
   entire range of the input tseries object will be plotted.
 \item
   \texttt{x} {[} tseries {]} - Input tseries object whose columns will
   be ploted as an area graph.
 \end{itemize}
 \paragraph{Output arguments}
 
 \begin{itemize}
 \item
   \texttt{h} {[} numeric {]} - Handle(s) to the area(s) plotted.
 \item
   \texttt{range} {[} numeric {]} - Actually plotted date range.
 \end{itemize}
 \paragraph{Options}
 
 \begin{itemize}
 \item
   \texttt{'dateformat='} {[} char \textbar{}
   \emph{irisget(`plotdateformat')} {]} - Date format for the tick marks
   on the x-axis.
 \item
   \texttt{'datetick='} {[} numeric \textbar{} \emph{\texttt{Inf}} {]} -
