R help - Dec 2009 - length of a density curve (or any curve)

Hello R users,

When I type

d <- density(MyData$x)

I obtain a density object I can plot,

But I wonder if there is a way to easily compute the length of the
density curve ?

( I imagine I could compute the distances between the 512 equally
spaced points using their x and y, but does it exist a smarter way ?)

Regards,

SW

hi Sylvain,

did you try ?density

regards
