Thanks Prof. Ripley. My apologies for not including the code.
Below I illustrate my point using the GLD package. Thank you very much for your time. Kind Regards, Pedro N.

Please give us the reproducible example we asked for (in the posting guide, at the bottom of every message), and we should be able to explain it to you. -- Brian D.
