[R] Graphing the Area of Definite Integral

[Ben Tupper]

Hi Steve,

Give RSeek.org a try ...

http://rseek.org/?q=show+area+under+curve

There a loads of examples and blogs on this topic at RSeek.org.  Under the 'Support' tab there is an exchange between two USM folk on this very topic.

Cheers,
Ben
