Multiple histograms in ggplot2

Question

Here is a short part of my data:

dat <-structure(list(sex = structure(c(1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 
1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L),          


        

Answer 1

To follow up on chl's example - here's how to duplicate your base graphic with ggplot. I would heed his advice in looking to dotplots as well:

library(ggplot2)
dat.m <- melt(dat, "sex") 

ggplot(dat.m, aes(value)) + 
  geom_bar(binwidth = 0.5) + 
  facet_grid(variable ~ sex)
