For  Ronnie:

Dear Lister's
I have a data that looks something like this
par_id	ag_area
1	112.2
2	91.3
3	74.7
4	64.3
5	57.3
6	42.4
7	75.4
8	77.7
9	102.9
10	108.0

Where par_id is the parish id (an adminstrative unit), and ag_area, is the agricultural area in a given parish

I would like to plot a cumulative distribution of the ag_area. I would like a plot that would look something like

ag_area(%)

100       * * *
|      *
|    *		
|  *
|* 
|_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (number of parishes %)
                100
                
Any help on how to go about this
