I am making frequency histograms using the histbackback function on my 2 datasets. However when I try to use the brks function:


foo<-histbackback(log(fie11), log(fie86),ylim=c(0,9),probability=FALSE,axes=TRUE,ylab=("log10 Parcel Size"),brks=16)

The graphic results in a 'NA' label for the y axis (no intervals are returned)

What do you get with str()"

> fool <- list(x=rnorm(40), y=rnorm(40))
> fbrks <- histbackback(fool, brks=c(-6, -2, -1,0,1,2, 6) )
> str(fbrks)
List of 3
 $ left  : int [1:6] 1 7 14 13 5 0
 $ right : int [1:6] 1 6 16 12 3 2
 $ breaks: num [1:7] -4.5 -3.5 -2.5 -1.5 -0.5 0.5 4.5

so fool$breaks should be the breaks.


Also when I use 'summary(foo)' the break values are returned as follows:

Length Class  Mode
left    9     -none- numeric
right   9     -none- numeric
breaks 1     -none- numeric

Can I manually add the y axis back in so there are values displayed?

It is a base graphics implementation so you can use the title function to put in ylab, and although the axis should have been put in you can also use the axis() function.
