R help - Mar 2008 - hist - modify maximum frequency (vertical axis)

Hello,

Is there a way to easily specify the maximum value to draw a histogram
with the "hist" function? I have 6 histograms, but each of them is
drawn with a different "frequency" range (scaling them to the best
visible way), however I need all the histograms to be scaled so that
the maximum frequency is a specific number (say 300, is the maximum
value of the vertical axis). This value is the maximum value shown
overall in all the histograms.

Is that possible?

Thanks,

Omar

Hi,

type ?hist in the R prompt and look for the ylim argument.

Example:

x=rep(1:10,1:10)
hist(x,ylim=c(0,20))

Manipulate the ylim values as needed.

Cheers,
Daniel
