Size of x-axis label, defaults to 2

ylab.cex

Size of y-axis label, defaults to 2

xlab.col

Colour of the x-axis label, defaults to “black”

ylab.col

xlab.top.label

The label for the top x-axis

xlab.top.cex

Two-element vector giving the y-axis limits, defaults to automatic

xat

Accepts a vector listing where x-axis ticks should be drawn or if automatic scaling is desired, one of three strings: “auto”, “auto.linear” or “auto.log”. Automatic scaling fixes x-axis tick locations, labels, and data values dependent given data. “auto” will determine whether linear or logarithmic scaling fits the given data best, “auto.linear” or “auto.log” will force data to be scaled linearly or logarithmically respectively. Defaults to lattice automatic (TRUE). For more details see `auto.axis()`.

yat

Accepts a vector listing where y-axis ticks should be drawn or if automatic scaling is desired, one of three strings: “auto”, “auto.linear” or “auto.log”. Automatic scaling fixes y-axis tick locations, labels, and data values dependent given data. “auto” will determine whether linear or logarithmic scaling fits the given data best, “auto.linear” or “auto.log” will force data to be scaled linearly or logarithmically respectively. Defaults to lattice automatic (TRUE). For more details see `auto.axis()`.

xaxis.lab

Vector listing x-axis tick labels, defaults to automatic (TRUE). Using automatic scaling with xat will overwrite user input. Set to NULL to remove x-axis labels.

yaxis.lab

Vector listing y-axis tick labels, defaults to automatic (TRUE). Using automatic scaling with yat will overwrite user input. Set to NULL to remove y-axis labels.

Warning

If this function is called without capturing the return value, or specifying a filename, it may crash while trying to draw the histogram. In particular, if a script that uses such a call of create histogram is called by reading the script in from the command line, it will fail badly, with an error message about unavailable fonts:


    Error in grid.Call.graphics("L_text", as.graphicsAnnot(x$label), x$x,  )
        Invalid font type
    Calls: print ... drawDetails.text -> grid.Call.graphics -> .Call.graphics
