R devel - Mar 2003 - Deprecated component in plot.histogram (PR#2696)

Hi everyone,

As "intensities" is deprecated as a synonym for "density" in
the
output of hist it would be a good idea to replace its occurence with
"density" in plot.histogram, where we currently have

    y <- if (freq) 
        x$counts
    else x$intensities

Note that, to add to the confusion, x$density is also referred to in
plot.histogram.

Cheers, Jonathan.

This is now being changed  such that plot.histogram() will still
work with an `intensities' instead of `density' component - for
back compatibility for some time.
