[R] Histogram frequencies with a normal pdf curve overlay

[S Ellison]

Assuming a constant bin width, you need to multiply the density by
n*binwidth, where the bin width is (obviously!) the width of the
histogram bins.

Dear List,

When I plot a histogram with 'freq=FALSE' and overlay the histogram
with a normal pdf curve, everything looks as expected, as follows:

x <- rnorm(1000)
hist(x, freq=FALSE)
curve(dnorm(x), add=TRUE, col="blue")

What do I need to do if I want to show the frequencies (freq=TRUE)
with the same normal pdf overlay, so that the plot would still look
the same?

Regards,

Jacques
