help:simple bin problem histogram

2 messages · Simon Pickett, Jim Lemon

Hi,
I cannot seem to change the default binning settings for the x axis 
successfully using hist(). I have tried using axis() in conjunction with 
xaxt="n", but I keep getting the error message
Warning message:
parameter "vect" could not be set in high-level plot() function
can anyone help please?

Hi Simon,

I didn't see a reply, but I think you want to use "breaks"

x<-sample(1:100,200,TRUE)
hist(x)
hist(x,breaks=seq(0,100,by=20))
