Create a lorenz curve

Question

For my first real document, I have to create lorenz curves. Problem is, I'm pretty new to TeX and I have absolutely no clue about how I should go about this. A google search only reveals this has not been attempted by anyone else, so any help or pointers are welcome.

What do you have to plot the curves ? Equations ? Sets of values ? What you will need is the package pgfplot and you can use the axis environment. — LMT-PhD, Apr 23 '14 at 16:50
As indicated LMT-PhD, determine your equations, sets of values, then look at this question and answers: http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/164991/31034 — , Apr 23 '14 at 17:28
Welcome to TeX.SE! Do you have to create that curve from TeX or is it just the inclusion of such a curve from another program into a .tex file? — , Apr 23 '14 at 17:40
@christian Hupfer, externally is totally fine, but I take that it is possible with only tex, so I will attempt that. — Azsgy, Apr 23 '14 at 17:42

You can easily do that with pstricks: the pst-func package has a special command for that. From the doc:

It took a while to understand what I was seeing, but this works very well. – Azsgy Apr 23 '14 at 17:52
