Plot Histogram with Points Instead of Bars

Question

Here is a question for R-users. I am interested in drawing a histogram with points stacked up, instead of a bar. For example if the data is (1,1,2,1,2,3,3,3,4,4), then I would like to see three points stacked up at 1, 2 points stacked up at 2 and so on. What is the best way to do this in R?

Accepted Answer

Greg Snow's TeachingDemos package contains a dots(x, ...) function which seems to fit your need:

```
dots( round( rnorm(50, 10,3) ) )
```
