Hi Peter and Jorge,

Finally, it works.  Thank you for your guidance.

## CDF plots

par(mar=c(4,4,2,1.2),oma=c(0,0,0,0),xaxs="i", yaxs="i")
plot(ecdf(dt1),verticals=TRUE, horizontals=TRUE,pch=46,do.p=FALSE, col.hor=1, 
col.vert=1,lwd=2,)
lines(ecdf(dt2),verticals=TRUE, horizontals=TRUE,pch=20,do.p=FALSE, col.hor=2, 
col.vert=2,lwd=2)
legend(40, 0.8, legend = c("observed","fitted"),
        col = c(1,2), pch=c(NA,NA), lty = c(1, 1),
        lwd=c(3,3),bty="n")

What is "plain text"?

Thank you.

Jorge's code works perfectly well.

If you prefer lines() over plot(...., add = TRUE),
then use lines():

  plot( ecdf(rnorm(15, sd=3)), verticals=TRUE, col="black")
  lines(ecdf(rnorm(11, sd=3)), verticals=TRUE, col="red")
  legend("topright", legend = c("observed","fitted"),
        col = c("black","red"), pch=c(NA,NA), lty = c(1, 1),
        lwd=c(3,3),bty="n", pt.cex=2)

(Note that "topright" is probably the worst choice you
can make. And why set pt.cex when you don't have points??)

The key thing is that you can't specify your two
colours in the first plot() call. At that point,
R has no idea that you want to add to the plot.
(I understand that Greg Snow is working on a
mind-reading package, but so far it can probably
read only his mind, not yours.)

Here is a (very brief) reminder of how to post:

1. Use an informative subject line.
[[elided Yahoo spam]]

2. *Never* use the phrase "it does not work".
    That is meaningless.
    Be specific about your problem.

3. Provide *reproducible* code.
    We don't have your 'datobs' or 'gam_sum_gen'.

4. Try to make the code *minimal*.
    It's not likely that anyone cares what labels you
    use for your axes/title (unless that's the problem).
    And nobody wants to see reams of data; use rnorm(),
    etc, or built-in data if possible.

5. Figure out how to set your mail program to send
    plain text.

I know the above (and more) is in the posting guide,
but it seems that nobody wants to read that quite
brief document.
