R help - Oct 2006 - hist plot

Hi there,

I really couldn't find out how to plot histogram with point/line instead of
rectangle for each bin? Any help please? Thanks!

Best,
 -Cao

This is taken from the help for the hist function:

"Typical plots with vertical bars are not histograms. Consider barplot
or plot(*, type = "h") for such bar plots."

For example:
> x <- rchisq(100, df = 4)
>
> op<-hist(x, freq = FALSE, ylim = c(0, 0.2))
> plot(op$mids,op$counts,type="h")

This is a guess, but...

y<-hist(rnorm(100,3),plot=FALSE)$counts
x<-barplot(y,width=0.01,space=20)
points(x,y)
