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. _R_e_f_e_r_e_n_c_e_s: Becker, R.
