\title{Histograms for Variables in a Data Frame}
\description{
This functions tries to compute the maximum number of histograms that
will fit on one page, then it draws a matrix of histograms. If there
are more qualifying variables than will fit on a page, the function
waits for a mouse click before drawing the next page.
}
\usage{
\method{hist}{data.frame}(x, n.unique = 3, nclass = "compute",
na.big = FALSE, rugs = FALSE, freq=TRUE, mtitl = FALSE, ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{a data frame}
\item{n.unique}{minimum number of unique values a variable must have
before a histogram is drawn}
\item{nclass}{number of bins. Default is
max(2,trunc(min(n/10,25*log(n,10))/2)), where n is the number of
non-missing values for a variable.}
\item{na.big}{set to \code{TRUE} to draw the number of missing values
on the top of the histogram in addition to in a subtitle. In the
subtitle, n is the number of non-missing values and m is the number
of missing values}
\item{rugs}{set to \code{TRUE} to add rug plots at the top of each
histogram}
\item{freq}{see \code{\link{hist}}. Default is to show frequencies.}
\item{mtitl}{set to a character string to set aside extra outside top
margin and to use the string for an overall title}
\item{\dots}{arguments passed to \code{scat1d}}
}
\value{the number of pages drawn}
