[pstricks] Controlling Curve Shape

[Rich Shepard]

   I would like to learn how to control the shape of curves in my plots. Below
is an example of a simple plot, but the curve is too steep and does not have
an asymptotic end (on the right) of 1.0. I've tried changing the points, but
I keep making it look worse and worse.

   What is the proper approach to creating a curve that looks like the left
side of a normal distribution curve? How would I create a set of partially
overlapping normal curves on a pair of axes -- other than by trial and error?

Thanks,

Rich
