It includes the function LinePlot which plots lists as vertical lines with "bubbles" as in most ee texts. Also, here is an example with a simplified implementation: Here is some data. In[1]:= x = {1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0}; Now calculate the magnitudes of the Fourier coefficients. In[3]:= X = Abs[Fourier[x]] Out[3]= {1.4142135623730951, 0.9238795325112867, 0., 0.38268343236508984, 0., 0.38268343236508984, 0., 0.9238795325112867} Each value must now be used to define a Line graphics element. First combine each magnitude with its corresponding x value. In[5]:= data = Transpose[{Range[Length[X]] - 1., X}] Out[5]= {{0., 1.4142135623730951}, {1., 0.9238795325112867}, {2., 0.}, {3., 0.38268343236508984}, {4., 0.}, {5., 0.38268343236508984}, {6., 0.}, {7., 0.9238795325112867}} Convert to a list of Line primitives. In[7]:= lines = (Line[{{#1[[1]], 0.}, {#1[[1]], #1[[2]]}}] & ) /@ data Out[7]= {Line[{{0., 0.}, {0., 1.4142135623730951}}], Line[{{1., 0.}, {1., 0.9238795325112867}}], Line[{{2., 0.}, {2., 0.}}], Line[{{3., 0.}, {3., 0.38268343236508984}}], Line[{{4., 0.}, {4., 0.}}], Line[{{5., 0.}, {5., 0.38268343236508984}}], Line[{{6., 0.}, {6., 0.}}], Line[{{7., 0.}, {7., 0.9238795325112867}}]} Display.
