But the thing I do not understand is which is ALPHA, which is BETA and which 
is N?

Could I please ask you show the R command to generate this plot  from NIST 
web site (the second one in the first row)?

I can produce the plot using Mathematica command. For example, looking at 
the plot for ALPHA=3, BETA=0.5, k=3, (again, the second plot in the first 
row), the following is the command in Mathematica to get the same plot:

I tried this in R, but I really do not know to tell this command in R which 
is alpha, which is beta and which is k?

thanks again
Nasser
