Try something like;

> x<-rnorm(1000)
> x.hist<-hist(x, plot=F) #now the histogram is stored in x.hist
> x.hist
$breaks
[1] -4 -3 -2 -1  0  1  2  3  4

$counts
[1]   1  24 143 333 338 137  22   2

$intensities
[1] 0.001 0.024 0.143 0.333 0.338 0.137 0.022 0.002

$mids
[1] -3.5 -2.5 -1.5 -0.5  0.5  1.5  2.5  3.5

> plot(x.hist$mids, x.hist$intensities)
