Hello,
I assume you have imported the dataset. You can use the hist from the
graphics package from the main R program. A tricky part is that the
freq=TRUE (the default) plots frequencies and freq=FALSE plots probability
densities, not percent of the histogram cells. You can sum the counts and
calculate the percent before plotting.
hist1<-hist(varname, plot=FALSE)
sum <- sum(hist1$counts)
hist1$counts <- hist1$counts/sum*100
plot(hist1, main=paste("Histogram of",deparse(substitute(varname))),
xlab=deparse(substitute(varname)), ylab="Percent",
)
Also, if you are new to R, there are very useful manuals and guides at
http://cran.r-project.org/manuals.html . You can look up documention in R,
such as ?hist command for documentation for hist function.

Kyaw Sint (Joe)
