[R] Histogram with plot() function

[Ben Bolker]

  Are you doing something like

x <- runif(7)
plot(x,type="h",lwd=10)

?

  Probably what you would prefer is the barplot() command:

barplot(x,col="black",names=1:7)

  It *is* possible to proceed as you are going, if you are producing
PostScript output, by editing the PostScript file and changing the line
that reads

1 setlinecap 1 setlinejoin

to

0 setlinecap 1 setlinejoin

  ... but barplot() is probably a much better idea.
