Hi, Stackoverflow had an example. Forgot the contributor's name but it shows percentages at the top. I use it as it is as I am not the expert.
png("Histogram.png") pdata<-read.csv("histogram.csv",header=T) histPercent <- function(x, ...) { H <- hist(pdata$y, plot = FALSE) H$density <- with(H, 100 * density* diff(breaks)[1]) labs <- paste(round(H$density), "%", sep="") plot(H, freq = FALSE, labels = labs, ylim=c(0, 1.08*max(H$density)),...) } histPercent(pdata$y, col="gray", xlab="Measured Values", main="Histogram Bytes vs Time") graphics.off() Thanks, Mohan -----Original Message----- From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of Deepayan Sarkar Sent: Friday, June 22, 2012 1:37 PM To: york8866 Cc: r-help@r-project.org Subject: Re: [R] how to make a histogram with percentage on top of each bar?

You will need a custom panel function, along the lines of mypanel <- function(x, breaks, nint = round(log2(length(x)) + 1), ...) { if (missing(breaks)) breaks <- do.breaks(range(x, finite = TRUE), nint) panel.histogram(x, breaks = breaks, ...) h <- hist(x, breaks = breaks, plot = FALSE) breaks <- h$breaks nb <- length(breaks) yy <- 100 * h$counts / length(x) panel.text(x = (breaks[-1] + breaks[-nb])/2, y = yy, labels = round(cumsum(yy), 2), pos = 3) } histogram(data, panel = mypanel) -Deepayan ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
