You do not _quite_ understand the documentation correctly.
?hist says
"In the last three cases the number is a suggestion only; as
the breakpoints will be set to 'pretty' values"
That includes specification of a single number of breaks.
> How to make that happen?
Specify a vector of breaks with 20 intervals (21 values).
For example,
breaks=seq(-4500000, 3500000, length.out=21)
This gives a bin width of 4e5.
