[R] Histogram

[Sarah Goslee]

Hi Jim,

You can't specify both number of bins and bin size. You can specify
breaks: either the number of bins or the location of breakpoints. A
histogram with 20 bins of 50 observations each must by definition come
from a uniform distribution.

What are you trying to accomplish?
