 rate_layout
        Set the layout for the current dataset if it is a rates
        dataset.

 Usage:
        rate_layout[, layout, <keys>]

 Argument:
        layout  int     Either a 2-element array giving the number of
                        columns and row, or a single integer giving
                        the number of columns (the number of rows is
                        then computed from the dataset properties).

 Keywords:
        default         Set the layout to the default for this
                        dataset. This is called whenever streams are
                        added or the sectoring options are changed.
        colour          Use colour to distinguish different traces on
                        a single panel. If this is specified without
                        any arguments, then for a dataset with only 1
                        stream or for an unsectored dataset the layout
                        is changed to plot all the traces on a single
                        panel.
        linestyle       Similar to the colour key, except that
                        linestyles are used in place of colours.
        in_columns      Set the priority of rows and columns.
        by_sector       For a dataset with both multiple sectors and
                        multiple streams, put all the sectors of each
                        stream in a single plot.
        with_headers    If set, then add boxes top & bottom with
                        details of the plot.
        lock_columns    If set, then the default and verify settings
                        will not change the number of columns. (use
                        lock_columns=0 to unset this).

 Notes:
        If the plot must have multiple traces per panel, then setting
        both colour and linestyle to zero will produce colour
        differentiation if the output has a colour table and linestyle
        if not.
