Dear R People: Here is yet another histogram question (yahq), please: When I use the hist() command with freq=F, I get density on the side. I would really like to have relative frequency; that is, Rf = density/(sum(density)) Is there a step that I'm leaving out, please? thanks!

Several people would probably contest that that is really what you want (histograms are supposed to be density estimates), but if you insist then you could use x <- hist(..., plot=F), normalize the count or density component, then plot(x).
