  geom_histogram(color="black", fill="white")
p

Example 2: ggplot2 histogram

# Add mean line
p+ geom_vline(aes(xintercept=mean(weight)),
            color="blue", linetype="dashed", size=1)
# Histogram with density plot
ggplot(df, aes(x=weight)) + 
 geom_histogram(aes(y=..density..), colour="black", fill="white")+
 geom_density(alpha=.2, fill="#FF6666")
