[Rd] hist() ignores 'probability=T' (PR#944)
In the following, 'probability=T' is ignored, i.e. the vertical axis is labelled in frequencies. However hist(islands, freq=F) achieves the desired effect. > data(islands) > hist(islands, probability=T) # Vertical axis gives frequencies > hist(islands, freq=F) # Expected result --please do not edit the information below-- Version: platform = i386-pc-mingw32 arch = x86 os = Win32 system = x86, Win32 status major = 1 minor = 2.3 year = 2001 month = 04 day = 26 language = R Windows 98 SE 4.10 (build 2222) A Search Path: .GlobalEnv, package:ctest, Autoloads, package:base John Maindonald email : john.maindonald@anu.edu.au Statistical Consulting Unit, phone : (6125)3998 c/o CMA, SMS, fax : (6125)5549 John Dedman Mathematical Sciences Building Australian National University Canberra ACT 0200 Australia -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
