It's difficult to understand what exactly you're looking for without seeing an example, could you post a simple version? imgur.com is a website that lets you quickly upload pictures to share with others.
I think your problem can be solved with the type='s' option to the general plot routine. Consider the following three plots, I think the third is the one you're looking for. x = runif(10,0,1) x2 = cumsum(x) plot(x2) plot(x2,type='l') plot(x2,type='s') Hope that helps, Sam Stewart On Thu, Jun 9, 2011 at 9:15 AM, Anupam <anupa...@gmail.com> wrote: > Nice graphs there.
