Histogram plot type

Description

Type function for histogram plots. type_hist is an alias for type_histogram.

Usage

type_histogram(breaks = "Sturges")

type_hist(breaks = "Sturges")

Arguments

breaks

Passed to hist. One of:

  • a vector giving the breakpoints between histogram cells,

  • a function to compute the vector of breakpoints,

  • a single number giving the number of cells for the histogram,

  • a character string naming an algorithm to compute the number of cells (see ‘Details’ of hist),

  • a function to compute the number of cells. In the last three cases the number is a suggestion only; as the breakpoints will be set to pretty values, the number is limited to 1e6 (with a warning if it was larger). If breaks is a function, the x vector is supplied to it as the only argument (and the number of breaks is only limited by the amount of available memory).

Examples

library("tinyplot")

# "histogram"/"hist" type convenience string(s)
tinyplot(Nile, type = "histogram")

# Use `type_histogram()` to pass extra arguments for customization
tinyplot(Nile, type = type_histogram(breaks = 30))
