_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Plots empirical distribution function of a sample.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     emplot(data, alog = "x", labels = TRUE, ...)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

    data: data vector

    alog: whether axes are to be logged: '"x"' x-axis only; '"y"'
          y-axis only; '"xy"' both axes; '""' neither axis.

  labels: whether or not axes should be labelled

     ...: other graphics parameters

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     This is a simple explanatory function. A straight line on the  
     double log scale indicates Pareto tail behaviour.

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:

     'qplot', 'meplot'

_E_x_a_m_p_l_e_s:

     ## Not run: data(danish)
     ## Not run: emplot(danish) 
     # Danish fire insurance data show Pareto tail behaviour
