##
## Performs a PP-plot (probability plot).
##
## If F is the CDF of the distribution `dist' with parameters `params'
## and x a sample vector of length n, the PP-plot graphs ordinate y(i) =
## F (i-th largest element of x) versus abscissa p(i) = (i - 0.5)/n. If
## the sample comes from F, the pairs will approximately follow a
## straight line.
##
## The default for `dist' is the standard normal distribution. The
## optional argument `params' contains a list of parameters of
## `dist'. E.g., for a probability plot of the uniform distribution on
## [2,4] ans x, use `ppplot (x, "uniform", 2, 4)'.
##
## If no output arguments are given, the data are plotted directly.
