[R] Query: weighting cells in histogram

[Spencer Graves]

      "hist" returns a list, to which you can apply your weights. 

      Alternatively, in R 1.7.1, typing "hist" [without the quotes (")] 
at a commands prompt reveals a call to UseMethod.  'methods("hist")' 
identifies functions "hist.default" and "hist.POSIXt".  Typing 
"hist.default" prodused the R code, which you can then customize any way 
you want.  The protocol in R 1.8 for this is different, but the same 
concepts should apply, I believe. 

      hope this helps.  spencer graves
