You can specify -combine(row(1))-, as
is implied by the -syntax- statement.
Note that the -syntax- statement should read
combine(str asis)
not
combine(passthru)
as my follow-up posting indicated. But, as you
may fear, there was no claim that -mdotplot- is anything
other than a bundle of -dotplot-s stitched together.
