Hist

From RcmdrMisc v2.7-0 by John Fox

Plot a Histogram

This function is a wrapper for the hist function in the base package, permitting percentage scaling of the vertical axis in addition to frequency and density scaling.

Keywords: hplot

Usage

Hist(x, groups, scale=c("frequency", "percent", "density"), xlab=deparse(substitute(x)), 
    ylab=scale, main="", breaks = "Sturges", ...)

Arguments

x: a vector of values for which a histogram is to be plotted.
groups: a factor to create histograms by group with common horizontal and vertical scales.
scale: the scaling of the vertical axis: "frequency" (the default), "percent", or "density".
xlab: x-axis label, defaults to name of variable.
ylab: y-axis label, defaults to value of scale.
main: main title for graph, defaults to empty.
breaks: see the breaks argument for hist.
…: arguments to be passed to hist.

Value

This function is primarily called for its side effect --- plotting a histogram or histograms --- but it also invisibly returns an object of class hist or a list of hist objects.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
    data(Prestige, package="car")
    Hist(Prestige$income, scale="percent")
    with(Prestige, Hist(income, groups=type))
    
# }
