## Stem-and-Leaf Plots

### Description

`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.

### Usage

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

### Arguments

`x` | a numeric vector.
`scale` | This controls the plot length.
`width` | The desired width of plot.
`atom` | a tolerance.

### Details

Infinite and missing values in `x` are discarded.
