OS: linux Submission from: (NULL) (63.251.119.254) I want to plot a histogram of a *subset* of some data:
t = c(0:9) hist(t,right=FALSE,breaks=10,xlim=c(0,5),xaxs="i")

This means I should plot a histogram from 0 to 5 with breaks at 1,2,3,4. This should produce exactly 5 bars of frequency=1. Instead I get 5 and 1/4 bars. I do not want the 4% margins on the x axis that xaxs="r" provides.
What documentation tells us that hist() accepts an argument "xaxs"? I cannot find any. Hence it is *not* a bug. You can use par() to set parameters like this. What you can do is: dat <- 0:9 par(xaxs = "i") hist(dat, right = FALSE, xlim = c(0, 5), breaks = 10) or subset your data itself: hist(t[t<5], right = FALSE, breaks=0:5) Uwe Ligges
