_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     'stem' produces a stem-and-leaf plot of the values in 'x'. The
     parameter 'scale' can be used to expand the scale of the plot.  A
     value of 'scale=2' will cause the plot to be roughly twice as long
     as the default.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     stem(x, scale = 1, width = 80, atom = 1e-08)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       x: a numeric vector.

   scale: This controls the plot length.

   width: The desired width of plot.

    atom: a tolerance.
