Hi,
I am trying to plot a histogram with my dataset that has 68 elements, 67 of
which are zero and the last one is 18. It can be reproduced as follows:
x<-array(0, dim=(68))
x[1] = 18
I am trying to plot its histogram using:
hist(x, breaks=10, xlim=c(0, 100), axes=F)
axis(2, at=seq(0, 70, 5)) # for the y-axis
axis(1, at=seq(0, 100, 10)) # for the x-axis
As you would also see if you reproduced the plot, the bars become really
thin. I would very much appreciate any help on fixing this issue. Thanks so
much in advance!
Hi Whalojazz,
There is the possibility of matching the x axis limits to the range of
the data:
hist(x, breaks=10, xlim=c(0, 18), axes=FALSE)
axis(2, at=seq(0, 70, 5))
axis(1, at=seq(0, 18, 9))
but this would not leave you all that tempting, empty space in which you
could insert a cartoon or humorous epigram. Why don't we split the
difference and try:
x11(width=10,height=7)
hist(x, breaks=10, xlim=c(0, 40), axes=FALSE)
axis(2, at=seq(0, 70, 5))
axis(1, at=seq(0, 40, 10))
Jim
