R help - Mar 2006 - hist-data without plot

hello,

i need the data from hist() but i do not want the plot.
e.g.
z=hist(data)$counts  #returns absolute  frequency

but when i execute this command the plot occurs also. is it possible to 
suppress the plot?

many thanks,
best regards gg

If plot=TRUE, the resulting object of class "histogram" is plotted by 
plot.histogram, before it is returned.

Look at:
?hist

z = hist(data, plot=FALSE)

Hi,

Have you at least read the help page of hist (you are supposed to)
?hist
If you did, do it again and you'll be able to answer your question

?hist

and see argument "plot":

 plot: logical.  If 'TRUE' (default), a histogram is plotted,
          otherwise a list of breaks and counts is returned.
