R help - Jun 2009 - Can hist plot % of count instead of raw count?

I do not want to use histogram because I have more control over base graphs
that R provide. I'm wondering if hist function provides a parameter that can
set y axis as % of count instead of raw count?

If not, I'd like to know how I can add text or line on histogram function? I
don't like the idea of having to use raw coordinates to set text position.
Thank you.

So you want 100 times the proportions that you can get with the freq  
parameter
of hist? You should read the Value portion of the hist help page.

?text   #not sure what you mean by raw coordinates but you should give  
evidence
          of having read the help pages before asking more questions.
?lines  # there ARE worked examples on the hist help page
?abline
