[R] Multiple histograms in one chart

[Adaikalavan Ramasamy]

If you use par(new=TRUE), you are overlaying one graph on top of the
other. In which case, make sure your xlim and ylim are correctly set.

Another way is to split the plotting window. For example

   par(mfrow=c(2,3))
   for(i in 1:6) hist( rnorm(100), main=paste("Histogram", i))

See help("par") for more info.

Regards, Adai
