One possibility is to draw the histogram without axes and then add them wherever you want.

For instance with something along the lines:

x <- rnorm(500)
hist(x, axes=F)
axis(1, line=-1)

For more details: ?axis

Dear R users,

The parameters xaxs and yaxs (function par, package graphics)
seem not to work with the function hist (package graphics),
even when the parameters xlim and ylim are defined.

Is there any way to make yaxs="i" and xaxs="i" work properly
with the function hist, mainly to produce histograms that
"touch" the horizontal axis? The R documentation and the
R mailing lists archive don't seem to be of help here.

I am using R 2.3.1, running under Windows XP.

## Example:
x <- rnorm(100)
hist(x,breaks=seq(-4,4,0.5),ylim=c(0,40),yaxs="i",
  xlim=c(-4,4),xaxs="i")
box()

Thank you very much.
