How to replace x- axis values (log scale) with their respective untransformed linear values in base R histogram

[robby1]

Hi, i have a problem with histogram in Rstudio. I have to represent with the funtion "hist" the distribution of several of rainfall observations. Most of them are next to 0 so preferred to create a vector of transformed data (log(x)). So I want to represent the transformed values (log scale) in histogram but with the untransformed linear values in x-axis.
I know that with the function "plot" for scatterplot I can obtain it by adding in the code log="x" but I now want a histogram, not other.

my code:
hist( log_rainfall, xlab = "rainfall [mm/h] in ln", ylab = "",
prob= TRUE, col = "cyan2", axes=FALSE )

Thank you for the help.

In order for us to better help you, please share a reproducible example of your problem

FAQ: What's a reproducible example (`reprex`) and how do I do one?

Why reprex? Getting unstuck is hard. Your first step here is usually to create a reprex, or reproducible example. The goal of a reprex is to package your code, and information about your problem so that others can run it and feel your pain. Then, hopefully, folks can more easily provide a solution. What's in a Reproducible Example? Parts of a reproducible example: background information - Describe what you are trying to do. What have you already done? complete set up - include any library() calls and data to reproduce your issue. data for a reprex: Here's a discussion on setting up data for a reprex make it run - include the minimal code required to reproduce your error on the data p…

Sure, sorry.
my simplified code:

place1_lin=c(0.12, 0.37, 0.2, 0.44, 0, 2.3, 1.5)
place1_log=log(place1_lin)
place1_log[place1_log==-Inf]<--2.3
hist( place1_log, xlab = "rainfall [mm/h] in ln", ylab = "",
prob= TRUE, col = "cyan2")

In vector "place1_lin" I have the original values.
In vector "place1_log" I replaced all original values in log scale (I replaced log(0) with log(0.1)=-2,3 in order to avoid "-Inf").

I'd like to obtain in x-axis of the histogram the original values, not the log scale ones.
Thank you.

FFR, reprex is actually a package that helps you run self-contained code, and copies it to your clipboard formatted it with images etc. so you can paste it right in here:

place1_lin=c(0.12, 0.37, 0.2, 0.44, 0, 2.3, 1.5)
place1_log=log(place1_lin)
place1_log[place1_log==-Inf]<--2.3
hist( place1_log, xlab = "rainfall [mm/h] in ln", ylab = "",
      prob= TRUE, col = "cyan2")
