How to change the x-axis scale on the histogram in base r

Question

I have a histogram that has an x-scale showing 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. How do I change it so it only shows 0, 2, 4, 6 ? In base r please.

Answer 1

It works for me as expected without specifying xlim

hist(exdata1$Global_active_power, main = "Global Active Power", 
      xlab = "Global Active Power (kilowatts)", col = "red")
