Dear Philippe,

I suppose that you want a histogram for snow.cover and not for year. There are several ways to proceed; two are

hist(mydata$snow.cover)

and

attach(mydata)
hist(snow.cover)

More generally, it's a good idea to read the introductory manual that comes with R (or a book that introduces R). See, in particular, the section on lists and data frames in the Introduction to R.

I hope that this helps,
 John

Hello,

how do you create a histogram with a data frame?

year snow.cover
1970 6.5
1971 12.0
1972 14.9
1973 10.0
1974 10.7
1975 7.9
...

mydata=data.frame(year=c(1970,...),snow.cover=c(6.5,...))

hist(mydata) does not work.

Many thanks.
