Max,
Plot initially evaluates f at a number of equally spaced sample points
specified by PlotPoints. Then it uses an adaptive algorithm to choose
additional sample points, attempting to produce a curve in which the bend
between successive segments is less than MaxBend. It subdivides a given
interval by a factor of at most PlotDivision.
You should realize that with the finite number of sample points used, it is
possible for Plot to miss features in your function. To check your results,
you should increase the setting for PlotPoints.
Since the delta function is infinitely narrow increasing PlotPoints will
generally not help.
Instead, try:
list = {{1,1}};
ListPlot[list];
I assume this is what you want to see.

Hi,
does anybody know if there is a possibility
to include the DiracDelta[] in a Plot?
If I have
Plot[DiracDelta[x-1],{x,0,2}]
I see nothing, but I would like to see
a vertical line at x=1.
