R help - Sep 2003 - plotting in the same figure

Hello,

Do you know if it's possible to create a plot as in matlab with the
options hold on and hold off? 
For example I want to plot in the same figure the theoric cdf of the
normal distribution and the empiric cdf from the raw data.

Thank you,
Josep.

Look at the argument "new" under ?par.

Probably better way is to use the following sequence:

plot(...)   # whatever your first plot is.
lines(...)  # add line to the existing plot.
points(...) # add points to the existing plot.

There are many other functions that add to the existing plot.

HTH,
Andy
