R help - Apr 2008 - help needed: Plotting step by step.

Hello,

I have generated 2 Poisson processes and want to plot them on a single graph
in a step by step manner in order to be able to compare them. I tried plot
and biplot but it does not help, I could connect two points by hand for
point graph if they were 5 or 10 I have more than 200 such point to be
connected and Poisson cluster makes it difficult for me to even read them
properly.

Can anyone tell me which is the function that can plot a stepwise graph for
me? I did google over the plot for step fun but did not understand much of
it. A simpler help would be more useful to me, as I am not a expert either
in Statistics or R.

Regards,
Atul.

Can you show us the code you used for the 5 to 10 points? (either
generate some random data, or use a sample dataset).
