[R] plotDensity

[Mark Difford]

Hi Conny,

It still isn't clear what your question is, but a density plot "simply"
shows you the distribution of your data, say a set of measurements of
something.  Think of it as a modern replacement for the histogram.

See

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_estimation

for greater insight.

HTH, Mark.
