Felix, there may be more elegant ways of plotting the normal curve, but given your current program, you can simply change your plot statment to use a formula:
plot(f.x ~ x, type="l", xlim=c(-5,5)) Dan Nordlund ---------Original message---------- In a message dated 2/5/2004 2:52:04 PM Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hello, i have written this little function to draw different normal distributions: n.Plot <- function(x,my,sigma) { e <- exp(1) names(x) <- x f.x <- (1/(sigma*sqrt(2*pi)))*e^(-1*(((x-my)^2)/2*(sigma^2))) plot(f.x,type="l",xlim=c(-5,5)) return(f.x) } if i define x like this: x <- seq(-5,5,0.01) Now n.Plot(x,0,1) DOES draw the correct plot, but the x-axis is labeled from 0 - 1000. If i give the plot function the xlim=c(-5,5) option, the plot is only drawn for the first 5 values of x. How do i tell plot not to take the indices of x, but the values (or their range) of x for labeling the x-axis ?
