Hi all,
I am generating histograms with the following R script :
#!/usr/bin/Rscript
out_file = "histo.png"
png(out_file)
scan("values.csv") -> myvalues
hist(myvalues, breaks = 50)
dev.off()
print(paste("Plot was saved in:", getwd()))
I want the histogram to have a larger number of breaks, but a smaller
break width, the idea is to make it appear smoother like a filled
curve. If I keep increasing breaks it starts looking messy. Any
suggestions?
Get better data?
Use a different type of plot, like a filled curve maybe?
If a histogram isn't meeting your needs, then use something else.
Right. Possibly:
?density
?plot.density
Although Sarkar's lattice implementation of panel.violin is
aesthetically superior to my mind.
