R help - Oct 2005 - y axis in histograms

Hi all,

This is my first post, I hope you will help me.

I've some data to present with histograms. I have few values with almost 99%
of
the frequencies (thousands) and some other values with low frequencies (below 
one hundred) that I want to emphasize. I think if I could present the logarithms
of the frequencies, these could be presented in a more convenient way, but I 
don't know how to deal with this.

Thanks, and sorry for my English

If you are plotting the counts, you should probably look at barplot(),
which as of R version 2.2.0 supports log scale axes (ie. log = "y").

See ?barplot for more information.
