Not colour but symbols

[Komine]

Hi,
Instead to put colour in my histogram,
I want to put symbols like lines, dots etc.
Do you know the function that does it?
Thank you in advance

[Bert Gunter]

Don't do this!

Google on "chartjunk" to learn why not.

However, you *can* do it in R.  For example, the function to draw
histograms filled with lines is hist().

Hi
Thank you Bert and Thomas for your help, I did what I wanted with this code.
>test<-c(4,8,9,6,7)
>barplot(test,density =20,angle=45)

But I want to cross the lines in each bar.
Please, how to do it?
Thank you in advance.

Maybe there is some other option in some add-on package but you can simply
add a second barplot

barplot(test,density =20,angle=-45, add=TRUE)
