[R] Way to rotate a histogram?

[Jason Rupert]

Awesome.  

This seems to produce the vertical histogram as needed, but is there then a way to come back and add on a probability distribution line?
That is, add something like the following to the barplot:
points(density(x), type='l', lwd=3, col='red')


Thanks again.
