Thanks a lot for your quick reply.
In the attached pdf you can see the chart I would like to draw with R. I
could of course make my life easier and use the Power Point chart, but
importing a ppt chart into Latex would not make me sleep very well,
besides the fact that all other plots in my document will come from R
and I don't want this one to look totally different...
