"""
Becker's Barley Trellis Plot
----------------------------
The example demonstrates the trellis charts created by Richard Becker, William Cleveland and others in the 1990s. Using the visualization technique below they identified an anomoly in a widely used agriculatural dataset, which they termed `"The Morris Mistake." <http://ml.stat.purdue.edu/stat695t/writings/Trellis.User.pdf>`_. It became their favored way of showcasing the power of this pioneering plot.
