[R] change look-and-feel of plot to resemble hist

Question

I used the information from this post to create a histogram with logarithmic scale: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1245273/histogram-with-logarithmic-scale

However, the output from plot looks nothing like the output from hist. Does anyone know how to configure the output from plot to resemble the output from hist? Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

How about using ggplot2?

x <- rnorm(1000)
qplot(x) + scale_y_log10()

But I agree with Hadley's comment on the other post that having a histogram with a log scale seems weird to me =).
