[R] Changing x-axis values displayed on histogram

[jlwoodard]

Is it possible to change the x-axis values in a histogram to reflect binned
values?

Here are my data:

histexample<-c(6,7,7,8,8,8,9,9,9,9,9,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,11,11,11,11,11,11,12,12,12,12,13,13,13,14,14,14,15,16)
hist(histexample)

Now, I'll bin pairs of adjacent values together (e.g., 5-6, 7-8, 9-10,
11-12, 13-14, 15-16) using the following

bins<-c(4.5,6.5,8.5,10.5,12.5,14.5,16.5)
hist(histexample,breaks=bins)

The displayed x-axis values are 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16.  I'd like the
x-axis values to reflect the values in each bin (e.g., 5-6, 7-8, 9-10,
11-12, 13-14, 15-16).  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!  Many
thanks in advance.
