[R] Combined plot: Scatter + density plot

[Jannis]

Hi Ralf,

I am sure there is a function to do exactly that but I am not sure what is the name and the package (Try plotrix or gregmisc...). To help you with your problem we would need a reproducible example with your data, not the example which obviously works.

As a guess, when you run 

info <- hist(x)

it should save you all the information regarding bin sizes etc into "info" and you can start from there. That should also work with probabilities.


Best
Jannis
