amHist: Plotting histogram using rAmCharts

Description

amHist computes a histogram of the given data values.

Usage

amHist(x, ...)


"amHist"(x, col = "#1e90ff", border = "#1e90ff", freq = TRUE, plot = TRUE, labels = FALSE, xlab, ylab, ylim, control_hist, ...)

Arguments

x
numeric, a vector of values for which the histogram is desired.
...
see amOptions for more options.
col
character, a color to be used to fill the bars.
border
character, a color for the borders.
freq
logical, if TRUE, the histogram graphic is a representation of frequencies, the counts component of the result; if FALSE, probability densities, component density, are plotted (so that the histogram has a total area of one). Defaults to TRUE if and only if breaks are equidistant (and probability is not specified).
plot
logical, if TRUE (default), an histogram is plotted, otherwise a list of breaks and counts is returned. In the second case, a warning is used if (typically graphical) arguments are specified that only apply to the plot = TRUE case.
labels
logical, set to TRUE to display labels. Default set to FALSE. Additionally draw labels on top of bars. if TRUE, draw the counts or rounded densities; if labels is a character, draw itself.
xlab, ylab
character, labels of the axis.
ylim
numeric, the range of y values with sensible defaults.
control_hist
(optional) named list() containing parameters to compute the histogram.

Value

An object of class AmChart.

Examples

Run this code
amHist(x = rnorm(100))


# Other examples available which can be time consuming depending on your configuration.

x <- replicate(1000, {
if (round(runif(1))) {
  rnorm(1)
} else {
  rnorm(1, mean = 5)
}
})


# Without plot
amHist(x = x, plot = FALSE)

# With options
amHist(x = x, border = "blue")
amHist(x = x, col = "lightblue", control_hist = list(breaks = 100))
amHist(x = x, col = "grey")
amHist(x = x, col = "gray")
amHist(x = x, main = "Histogram", ylab = "y-axis", xlab = "x-axis", col = "red")
amHist(x = x, main = "Histogram", ylab = "y-axis", xlab = "x-axis", ylim = c(10, 15))
amHist(x = x, main = "Histogram", ylab = "y-axis", xlab = "x-axis")

# Options for computing the histogram
amHist(x = x, control_hist = list(breaks = "Scott"))
