| \title{Stem-and-Leaf Plots} |
| \usage{ |
| stem(x, scale = 1, width = 80, atom = 1e-08) |
| } |
| \alias{stem} |
| \description{ |
| \code{stem} produces a stem-and-leaf plot of the values in \code{x}. |
| The parameter \code{scale} can be used to expand the scale of the |
| plot. A value of \code{scale = 2} will cause the plot to be roughly |
| twice as long as the default. |
| } |
| \arguments{ |
| \item{x}{a numeric vector.} |
| \item{scale}{This controls the plot length.} |
| \item{width}{The desired width of plot.} |
| \item{atom}{a tolerance.} |
| } |
| \details{ |
| Infinite and missing values in \code{x} are discarded. |
