[R] Way to rotate a histogram?

[Patrizio Frederic]

Jason,
be carefully to the order of intensities (counts or densities):

x=rnorm(1000)
par(mfrow=c(2,2))
h=hist(x,breaks=bk<-c(-5,-3,-2,-1,-.5,0,1,3,5))
barplot(rev(h$intensities),rev(bk[2:9]-bk[1:8]),space=0,horiz=T) # compare to
axis(2)
barplot(h$intensities,bk[2:9]-bk[1:8],space=0,horiz=T)
axis(2)
