Histogram Bar Spacing or Border Width

Tom,
I dealt with this once. 

 barplot.data<- c(2,3,4,5,6)
 x<- barplot(barplot.data, ylim = c(0,10), space= .9,.9,.9,.9)

use the space= to define the spacing between each of your barplot values. 
If you have groups of bars that you want together, with spaces between the groups,
you have to put 0's for each of the unspaced bars. 

Hope this helps,

Zack

Subject: [R] Histogram Bar Spacing or Border Width

Is there any way to control the spacing between bars in a 
histogram, or 
change the border width (I'm assuming the hist() function, though 
alternatives are welcome)? I'm interested in changing the visual 
spacing 
between columns in a plotted histogram.

The general effect I'm looking for can be accomplished in barplots 
using 
the "width=" parameter, but I have not been able to find a way to 
adjust 
the apparent spacing in histograms.

Thank you,

Tom Hopper
