Re: [R] plotting two histograms on one plot with hist function
Thank you for all the advice! After mailing the question, I actually found a
function called multhist (plotrix package) that plots two data sets (in single
list) on a single histogram.
The script is as follows:
#I listed to two data sets in âlongâ format in a .csv file
input - read.csv(file= list.csv, h = TRUE)
library(plotrix)
#to plot two data sets on one histogram
multhist(input, xlab=Labelâ, ylab=Frequency, col=c(Red, Green),
ylim=c(0,50))
#to add a legend to the top left corner
legend(topleft, c(Dataset 1,Data set 2), cex=0.6,bty=n,
fill=c(Red,Green))
Thanks again for the help!

I think OP request was for comparison. Two panels may do, but why not a
barplot of the histograms in the same panel ?
barplot( rbind(

hist(rbeta(30,6,8),breaks=seq(0,1,.1),plot=F)$counts),

Subject: [R] plotting two histograms on one plot with hist function
I would like to plot two data sets (frequency (y-axis) of mean values for
0-1(x=axis)) on a single histogram for comparison. The hist() only allow
the overlay of two histograms, and although barplot() allows beside=TRUE,
it does not show frequency values (like hist) but rather all of the
values. Is there any way that I can use the hist() to plot two data sets
similar to the barplot(). Any help or advice will be appreciated!
