_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Stacked histogram

_U_s_a_g_e:

     histStack(x, breaks, breaksFun=paste, ylab="frequency", ...) 

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       x: A list of numeric vectors.

  breaks: Histogram breaks, as in 'hist'

breaksFun: Function, can be used to control the formatting of the bin
          labels. See example.

    ylab: Label for the Y-axis on the plot

     ...: Further arguments that get passed to 'barplot'

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     The function calls 'hist' for each element of 'x' and plots the
     frequencies as a stacked barplot using 'barplot' with
     'beside=FALSE'.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     The function is called for its side effect, producing a barplot on
     the active graphics device. It returns the result of the call to
     'barplot'.
