I'm trying to create histogram (using hist()) that fullfill the following
criteria:
* data is on a ordinal scale (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
* I want bars centered over the number on the x-axis
* I want 5 bars of equal width
I have tried various versions of the hist() command, with no luck. what
am I missing?

More than likely, you want to use barplot() and not hist(): Try: barplot(1:5, names.arg = 1:5) See ?barplot for more information. HTH, Marc Schwartz P.S. To R Core: It probably makes sense to add barplot to the See Also section of ?hist, since hist is listed in the See Also for ?barplot.
