functionplCDF
Generate a piecewise linear cumulative distribution function from a piecewise linear density function
Extends from Function (Yields true if input is different from zero).

The output cdf is piecewise linear cumulative distribution function specified by a list of points {{x1,F(x1)}, {x2,F(x2}}, ... ,{xn, F(xn)}. The input tuples is assumed to be a piecewise linear function that by default (rescaleQ= true) will be normalized using normalizePLpdf() to come up with a piecewise linear density function that has the unit interval as its support.
Syntax
Functions.plCDF({{x1,y1},{x2,y2}, ...}); // rescaleQ= true
Functions.plCDF({{x1,y1},{x2,y2}, ...}, rescaleQ = false);
Examples
plCDF({{0,2},{5,2},{10,2}}); // {{0,0},{0.5,0.5},{1,1}}
plCDF({{0,1},{1,2},{2,4},{3,5}}); // {{0,0},{0.33..,0.16..},{0.66..,0.5},{1,1}}
