This function is a wrapper for the hist function in
the base package, permitting percentage scaling of the
vertical axis in addition to frequency and density scaling.
This function is primarily called for its side effect ---
plotting a histogram or histograms --- but it also invisibly
returns an object of class hist or a list of hist objects.
Arguments
x
a vector of values for which a histogram is to be plotted.
groups
a factor (or character or logical variable) to create histograms by group with common horizontal and vertical scales.
scale
the scaling of the vertical axis: "frequency" (the default),
"percent", or "density".
