Way to rotate a histogram?

Awesome.

This seems to produce the vertical histogram as needed, but is there  
then a way to come back and add on a probability distribution line?
That is, add something like the following to the barplot:
points(density(x), type='l', lwd=3, col='red')


Thanks again.

Jason,
be carefully to the order of intensities (counts or
densities):

x=rnorm(1000)
par(mfrow=c(2,2))
h=hist(x,breaks=bk<-c(-5,-3,-2,-1,-.5,0,1,3,5))
barplot(rev(h$intensities),rev(bk[2:9]-bk[1:8]),space=0,horiz=T)
# compare to
axis(2)
barplot(h$intensities,bk[2:9]-bk[1:8],space=0,horiz=T)
axis(2)

I believe that hist will return a vector that could be

passed to barplot:

 h.islands <- hist(islands)

barplot(h.islands$intensities, horiz=TRUE)  # or
barplot(h.islands$counts, horiz=TRUE)

Here is what I have so far:

test_data<-rnorm(100)
par(mfrow=c(1,3)) # 3 rows by 1 columns layout

of plots

hist(test_data)
boxplot(test_data)
qqnorm(test_data)

I noticed that I can rotate a boxplot via

"horizontal", but apparently

"hist" does not have that functionality.

I tried stacking the plots vertically:
test_data<-rnorm(100)
par(mfrow=c(3,1)) # 3 rows by 1 columns layout of

plots

hist(test_data)
boxplot(test_data, horizontal=TRUE)
qqnorm(test_data)

However, I would have to rotate the QQnorm plot,

which would be pretty

confusing and I think non-standard.

Thank you again for any feedback and insight

regarding trying to reproduce

the JMP figure shown at:

I guess no reply means there is not an

existing package to

produce the plot?

I will post the results of my script to

hopefully help

others who are trying to formulate the same

plot.

Thanks again.

By any chance is there an R package that

automatically

produces the plot shown at the following

link:

http://n2.nabble.com/Can-R-produce-this-plot--td2489288.html

That is an R package to produce on plot

that has the

following:
(a) a vertically oriented histogram,
(b) associated barplot, and
(c) quantile-quantile plot (Q-Q Plot).

This is based on a class lecture from

University of

Pennsylvania:

stat.wharton.upenn.edu/~mcjon/stat-431/lecture-02.pdf

I am pretty confident I can put one

together, but just

wanted to check that there does not

already exist an R

package to output such a plot.

Thanks again.
