maybe not very elegant or beautiful, but I hope it will get you started: ################### Start of Code Example n <- 1000 myxlims <- c(-3,3) myylims <- c(0,0.6) mydata <- rnorm(n) marker <- 1 hist(mydata, breaks=50, xlim=myxlims, ylim=myylims, freq=FALSE) rect(xleft=myxlims[1], xright=marker, ybottom=0, ytop=max(myylims), col="red", border=FALSE) rect(xleft=marker, xright=myxlims[2], ybottom=0, ytop=max(myylims), col="blue", border=FALSE) hist(mydata, breaks=50, xlim=myxlims, ylim=myylims, col="green", freq=FALSE, add=TRUE) abline(v=marker, col="black", lwd=3, lty=1) ################### End of Code Example Best, Roland > > Thankin you, > Georg. > > **************************** > Georg Ehret > JHU > Baltimore - USA > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. > ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
