Well, another possibility would be to edit the plot so that you cut the
empty part (between 300 and 2000).
There might be some function that can do it, maybe the
plotrix::gap.barplot() that Dieter already told you about.

Thanks
What you have suggested of course works but I am trying to reduce the
'ugliness'.
Anybody got any other ideas?

Subject: Re: [R] Help with Hist
Hi,
I think you should also give the upper extreme:
x<- c(rnorm(80)+10, 101:110, 2001:2010)
hist(x, breaks=c(0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 200, 500))
Error in hist.default(x, breaks = c(0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 200, 500)) :
some 'x' not counted; maybe 'breaks' do not span range of 'x'
hist(x, breaks=c(0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 200, 500, 2100)) ## which
looks horrible, but works, up to you how to cut it
HTH,
Ivan

Dear list
I am trying to re-scale a histogram and using hist() but can not seem
to create a reduced scale where the upper values are not plotted.
What I have is about 100 of which 80 or so are between a value of 0
and 40 , one or two in the hundreds and an outlier around 2000.
What I would like to do is create an x-scale that shows 5 bins between
0-100 and then 3/4 bins between 100 and 2000 but I don't need any
resolution on the above 100 values.
If I use breaks c(0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 200, 500) R gives me an
error saying that there are values not included, which of course I
know but I wish to ignore them.
It seems that I am missing something quite simple.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Steve
