[R] Shift the normal curve to the top or near to the top of the histogram

[AbouEl-Makarim Aboueissa]

Dear All:

One more thing.

I want to add the normal curve to the histogram. Is there away to stretch
the peak of the curve to the top of the histogram or at least near to the
top of the histogram.

Please see the code below.


Lizard.tail.lengths <- c(6.2, 6.6, 7.1, 7.4, 7.6, 7.9, 8, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5,
8.6,8.8, 8.8, 9.1, 9.2, 9.4, 9.4, 9.7, 9.9, 10.2, 10.4, 10.8,11.3, 11.9)

x<-seq(5,12, 0.001)

hist(Lizard.tail.lengths, main = "Normal Probability Plot of Lizard Tail
Lengths")

curve(dnorm(x ,mean=mean(Lizard.tail.lengths),sd=sd(Lizard.tail.lengths)),
add=TRUE, col=2, lwd = 2)



with many thanks
abou
