Stem-and-Leaf Plots

Description

stem produces a stem-and-leaf plot of the values in x. The parameter scale can be used to expand the scale of the plot. A value of scale=2 will cause the plot to be roughly twice as long as the default.

Usage

stem(x, scale = 1, width = 80, atom = 1e-08)

Examples

data(islands)
stem(islands)
stem(log10(islands))
