do.breaks(endpoints, nint)
An object of class "trellis". The
update method can be used to
  update components of the object and the
print method (usually called by
  default) will plot it on an appropriate plotting device.
The object on which method dispatch is carried out.
For the formula method, x can be a formula of the form
    ~ x | g1 * g2 * ..., indicating that histograms or kernel
    density estimates of the x variable should be produced
    conditioned on the levels of the (optional) variables g1,
    g2, ....  x should be numeric (or possibly a factor
    in the case of histogram), and each of g1, g2,
    ... should be either factors or shingles.
As a special case, the right hand side of the formula can contain
    more than one term separated by ‘+’ signs (e.g., ~ x1 +
    x2 | g1 * g2).  What happens in this case is described in the
    documentation for xyplot.  Note that in either form,
    all the terms in the formula must have the same length after
    evaluation.
For the numeric and factor methods, x is the
    variable whose histogram or Kernel density estimate is drawn.
    Conditioning is not allowed in these cases.
For the formula method, an optional data source (usually a
    data frame) in which variables are to be evaluated (see
    xyplot for details).  data should not be
    specified for the other methods, and is ignored with a warning if it
    is.
The formula to be used for the "data.frame" methods. See
    documentation for argument x for details.
A character string indicating the type of histogram that is to be
    drawn.  "percent" and "count" give relative frequency
    and frequency histograms respectively, and can be misleading when
    breakpoints are not equally spaced. "density" produces a
    density histogram.
type defaults to "density" when the breakpoints are
    unequally spaced, and when breaks is NULL or a
    function, and to "percent" otherwise.
An integer specifying the number of histogram bins, applicable only
    when breaks is unspecified or NULL in the call.
    Ignored when the variable being plotted is a factor.
A numeric vector of length 2 indicating the range of x-values that
    is to be covered by the histogram.  This applies only when
    breaks is unspecified and the variable being plotted is not a
    factor.  In do.breaks, this specifies the interval that is to
    be divided up.
Usually a numeric vector of length (number of bins + 1) defining the
    breakpoints of the bins.  Note that when breakpoints are not equally
    spaced, the only value of type that makes sense is density.
When breaks is unspecified, the value of
    lattice.getOption("histogram.breaks") is first checked.  If
    this value is NULL, then the default is to use
      breaks = seq_len(1 + nlevels(x)) - 0.5
    when x is a factor, and
      breaks = do.breaks(endpoints, nint)
    otherwise.  Breakpoints calculated in such a manner are used in all
    panels.  If the retrieved value is not NULL, or if
    breaks is explicitly specified, it affects the display in
    each panel independently.  Valid values are those accepted as the
    breaks argument in hist.  In particular, this
    allows specification of breaks as an integer giving the
    number of bins (similar to nint), as a character string
    denoting a method, or as a function.
When specified explicitly, a special value of breaks is
    NULL, in which case the number of bins is determined by
    nint and then breakpoints are chosen according to the value
    of equal.widths.
A logical flag, relevant only when breaks=NULL.  If
    TRUE, equally spaced bins will be selected, otherwise,
    approximately equal area bins will be selected (typically producing
    unequally spaced breakpoints).
Integer, giving the number of points at which the kernel density is
    to be evaluated.  Passed on as an argument to density.
A function, called once for each panel, that uses the packet (subset
    of panel variables) corresponding to the panel to create a display.
    The default panel functions panel.histogram and
    panel.densityplot are documented separately, and have
    arguments that can be used to customize its output in various ways.
    Such arguments can usually be directly supplied to the high-level
    function.

Fallback prepanel function.  See xyplot.
numeric vector of weights for the density
    calculations, evaluated in the non-standard manner used for
    groups and terms in the formula, if any.  If this is
    specified, it is subsetted using subscripts inside the panel
    function to match it to the corresponding x values.
At the time of writing, weights do not work in conjunction
    with an extended formula specification (this is not too hard to fix,
    so just bug the maintainer if you need this feature).
Arguments controlling bandwidth.  Passed on as arguments to
    density.
The choice of kernel.  Passed on as arguments to
    density.
Logical flag, passed on as argument to density.
    This argument is made available only for ease of implementation, and
    will produce an error if TRUE.
Controls range over which density is evaluated.  Passed on as
    arguments to density.
Logical flag specifying whether NA values should be ignored.
    Passed on as argument to density, but unlike in
    density, the default is TRUE.
Further arguments.  See corresponding entry in
    xyplot for non-trivial details.

histogram draws Conditional Histograms, and densityplot
  draws Conditional Kernel Density Plots.  The default panel function
  uses the density function to compute the density
  estimate, and all arguments accepted by density can be
  specified in the call to densityplot to control the output.
  See documentation of density for details.
These and all other high level Trellis functions have several
  arguments in common. These are extensively documented only in the
  help page for xyplot, which should be consulted to learn more
  detailed usage.
do.breaks is an utility function that calculates breakpoints
  given an interval and the number of pieces to break it into.
