Re: [R] draw categorical histogram
This would not draw a histogram.

Re: [R] draw categorical histogram
Hi Phoebe, Try x - c(12, 33, 56, 67, 15, 66) names(x) - c('Richard','Minnie','Albert','Helen','Joe','Kingston') barplot(x, las = 1, space = 0) HTH, Jorge On Wed, Dec 1, 2010 at 2:51 PM, phoebe kong wrote: Hi, Can someone tell me how to draw a histogram for the following summary?

Re: [R] draw categorical histogram
Phoebe, In addition to the barplot method below, you really can use plot() to draw what it sounds like you are looking for IF you have a categorical variable. To illustrate, try running the following code: x=sample(c(Richard, Minnie, Albert, Helen, Joe, Kingston), 50, replace=T) x=as.factor(x) plot(x) See also ?plot.factor Andrew Miles On Dec 1, 2010, at 4:06 PM, Jorge Ivan Velez wrote: Hi Phoebe, Try x - c(12, 33, 56, 67, 15, 66) names(x) - c('Richard','Minnie','Albert','Helen','Joe','Kingston') barplot(x, las = 1, space = 0) HTH, Jorge On Wed, Dec 1, 2010 at 2:51 PM, phoebe kong wrote: Hi, Can someone tell me how to draw a histogram for the following summary?
