rug plots

Creates a so-called "rug" plot similar to those produced by the free stats package, R.

You are now following this Submission

A rug plot is a compact way of illustrating the marginal distributions of a variable along x and y. Positions of the data points along x and y are denoted by tick marks, reminiscent of the tassels on a rug.

Known Issues:
Rug marks are overlaid onto the same axis as the original data. Changing the axis dimensions after calling rug will therefore cause the tick marks to become disassociated from the axes.

I haven't tested this function extensively so let me know if you find any problems.
