问题
Here is the code I used in R (using RGui 64-bit, R ver. 3.3.1) to plot a histogram of data along with a frequency polygon. I am not using ggplot2. How can I superimpose the frequency polygon on top of the histogram so that I don't have to do two separate graphs? That is, I want the histogram plotted, with the frequency polygon overlaid on top of it.
# declare your variables
data <- c(10, 7, 8, 4, 5, 6, 6, 9, 5, 6, 3, 8,
+ 4, 6, 10, 5, 9, 7, 6, 2, 6, 5, 4, 8, 7, 5, 6)
# find the range
range(data)
# establish a class width
class_width = seq(1, 11, by=2)
class_width
# create a frequency table
data.cut = cut(data, class_width, right=FALSE)
data.freq = table(data.cut)
cbind(data.freq)
# put both graphs together
par(mfrow=c(1,2))
# histogram of this data
hist(data,
breaks=class_width,
col="slategray3",
border = "dodgerblue4",
right=FALSE,
xlab = "Scores",
main = "Histogram of Quiz Data")
# create a frequency polygon for the birth weight data
plot(data.freq, type="b",
xlab="Scores",
ylab="Frequency",
add=TRUE,
main="A Frequency Polygon of Quiz")

This will overlay the two graphs. I've removed the extra main title and labels, since they would also be overlayed, which looks messy.

right=FALSE,
xlab = "Scores",
main = "Histogram of Quiz Data")
# this is key to the overlay
par(new=TRUE)
# create a frequency polygon for the birth weight data
plot(data.freq, type="b")
