[R] multiple rugs on a single plot

[Greg Snow]

The rug function will take line and position arguments for the location
of the rug plot, so you can do something like:

> rug( x1, line=0 )
> rug( x2, line=1 )
> rug( x3, line=2 )

Where line=0 means right on the x axis, line=1 means 1 textline height
below the x axis (-1 would be the same distance above the x axis).  Or
pos=y  will plot the rug plot at the specified y value (and you can give
it y values below the y-axis).

You should probably make sure to leave enough room for the rug plots to
not be crowded and look at the other graphical options for how the rug
plot will look.

Hope this helps,
