Increasing the width of type "h" R plot

Question

If I run this simple code:

x <- c(1:10)
y <- c(1:10)
plot(x,y,type="h")

the result contains very thin histogram lines.

Is there a way to make these lines thicker (other than using the hist() function itself)? They do not necessarily have to look like bars, just be a little thicker.

Answer 1

Try this:

plot(x,y,type="h", lwd = 4)
