I'd like to generate some plots like you'd see on the old "normal
probability graph paper", like the first plot in:

  <http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/eda/section3/normprpl.htm>

except the horizontal scale would have 1%, 5%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 95%,
99%, or similar quantiles, with associated tick/grid lines. [still
hunting around for a good example...] something like these, but with
the probability along the horizontal axis:

  <http://www.fw.umn.edu/biochr/assoc/dho/107/notes/minitab/NORMPROB.HTM>
  <http://www.survo.fi/gallery/002.html>
  <http://www.unistat.com/534.htm>
  <http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/toolbox/stats/normplot.shtml>

I dug around in the mailing list archives, but didn't find anything.

Thanks!
