[R] Histogram Bar Spacing or Border Width

[Zachary Holden]

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
