Great. Thanks! It did wonders. 1. Is there a way to suppress the obvious tick stops (-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3) and mark only the ticks -1.96 and 1.96. 2. Better yet, to draw vertical lines at x = -1.96 and x = 1.96. Thanks.

David, Rui, and All: Greetings. 1. I need a helping hand with the polygon statement below so that I can have the area under the curve highlighted, between (z1,z2). 2. Is it possible to label the X-axis with in two scale, in the current z-scale and another, say x = (z+5)*2? Thank you. z1<- -1 z2<-? 2 curve(dnorm(x,0,1),xlim=c(-4,4),main="Standard Normal",xaxt="n",frame=F,xlab="z") jj<-seq(z1,z2,0.01) cord.x<-c(jj) cord.y<-c(dnorm(jj)) #polygon(cord.x,cord.y,col="skyblue") axis(1,at=c(-5,z1,0,z2,5),lab=c(-5,z1,0,z2,5)) abline(v=c(z1,z2)) -- styen at ntu.edu.tw (S.T. Yen) [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
I think this does what you want.
z1<- -1
z2<-  2
oldp <- par(mgp=c(3, .5, 0))
curve(dnorm(x,0,1), xlim=c(-5, 5),main="Standard Normal",
    xaxt="n", frame=F, xlab="")
jj<-seq(z1,z2,0.01)
cord.x<- jj
cord.y<- dnorm(jj)
polygon(c(-1, cord.x, 2), c(0, cord.y, 0), col="skyblue")
axis(1,at=c(-5,z1,0,z2,5),lab=c(-5,z1,0,z2,5))
abline(v=c(z1,z2))
axis(1, at=c(-5, z1, 0, z2, 5), lab=(c(-5,z1,0,z2,5) + 5)*2, line=2)
par(oldp)
When you assign a vector to an object, you do not need to use c(), e.g. cord.x
<- jj. I expanded xlim= since you were labeling the axis at -5, and 5, but
only drawing the plot from -4 to 4.
To get the polygon to work, you need to add points to the baseline at at either
end.
The line= argument in axis() lets you put an axis line into the margin of the
plot. I used the mgp= argument in par() to close the space between the tickmarks
and their values.

Yes, par(oldp) resets the parameter to its original value.

Thanks David. I do know what to do with pnorm.
By call-out I was hoping to get indication/annotation of probability like the
attached.
Maybe I am asking too much of the data, as I suspect R is not meant to do that.
I appreciate your help. I am just trying to make these graphs for stat teaching
without graphic software like correl draw.

If you have an arbitrary polygon, you can use polyarea() in the pracma package:
library(pracma)
polyarea(rev(c(-1, cord.x, 2)), rev(c(0, cord.y, 0)))

One more point. Don?t use abbreviations for TRUE and FALSE (e.g. frame=F). FALSE
cannot be redefined, but F can be. If you used a variable called F in earlier
code, it could change the behavior of curve():
curve(dnorm(x,0,1), xlim=c(-5, 5), frame=F)
FALSE <- 1
Error in FALSE <- 1 : invalid (do_set) left-hand side to assignment
F <- 1
