Wonderful! Thank you Eik!
I thought there was a specific package or plot to get my purpose, but
your idea solves perfectly my problem.
Maybe I could try to write a simple R function using your suggest,
just to make fast my work. If I can get a result, I'll announce it in
this list.
Thank you very much.
