Histogram with lines instead of bars

[Timothy Lau]

I feel like I've seen a histogram type of chart with spaced lines instead of bars. Am I making this up or is there geom for this?

Best,

Timothy

I think it's sometimes called a "needle plot", and you can make it by
constructing segments from (x,0) to (x,y) for each (x,y) pair ...

So something where you just affect the width isn't helpful? 

http://docs.ggplot2.org/current/geom_histogram.html

You just want lines where the bars would be?

There's also geom_lollipop

But I'm not sure if it plays nice with a histogram.
