R hist() shows only the bottom and left border by default. In plot(), we can use frame.border=TRUE to show all 4 borders. In hist, not so. Is there a way to show all 4 borders in hist()?

Solution

Just call box() to enclose the plot figure you just created in a "box" on all four sides as you desire.

Code

> hist(mtcars$disp)
> box()

Output
