[R] Plotting compound functions--help with defining x-axis as f(x)

[Aimee Jones]

Thanks for your assistance, this worked perfectly, and sorry for
posting in html! I shall check it's plain text for future postings..

Would it be possible for you to explain why this works? I'm unsure as
to why redefining t works, when t is perfectly defined within the
script previously.
Thank you for any further help,

Aimee
