R help - Nov 2011 - Making the lines thicker in histogram

I'm using a histogram and want to overlay this onto a barplot. I need the
histogram lines to be thicker in order for it to stand out more on top of
the barplot. Is there a command in order to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi

Look at the source code.

graphics:::plot.histogram

You can find that boxes are actually drawn by rect

So if you want to use standard graphics, you probably need to modify 
source code and set up your version of plot.histogram.

Maybe with ggplot2 package you can find some way how to do what you want 
but you shall check yourself.
