Thank you for answering.
I don't have any functional form of this points. I have only this array of
points. Points on this array should be distributed *like* two crossing
functions as Sin[x] and Cos[x], but I don't know the functional form of
these functions.
All that I have is an array of points!
Because of the fact that these points distribute on the x-y cartesian plane
like two crossing functions, I cannot use "joined->true" because it gives me
strange results.
Thank you
Antonio
