data labels.

You could find it probably quicker in documentation.

Plotting command usually creates (invisibly) the object which can be saved 
and changed.

h<-hist(x)

h is list which you can use or modify

for instance this

h.lab <- h$counts
h.lab[seq(2,16,2)]<-NA
hist(x, labels=as.character(h.lab))

prints every second label
