how expand plots with different x-axis ranges

Hi folks,
I have a problem with plot some distributions. I have two bar plots with different x-range values: one of them is contained in the other but it's smaller and so when I try to plot both only one is clearly visible while the other is shown as a "spike". How can I do to visualize both of them?
Togive a better idea about my question I have attached the two plot shown separately and I would like to have both on the same figure avoiding the "spike" effect.
Thank you in advance for your help

Specify the edges for both histograms rather than letting that funciton choose the bins.
If the data from histrogram #2 only covers a very tiny range of the data from histogram #1, it may not be easy to see two different distributions plotted on the same axes.
If this advice doesn't solve the problem you'll have to provide a few lines that reproduces the problem (the data and the code you're using).

Where does those first two inputs come from in bar() ?
Why not use histogram where you can specify the bar width. The suggestion in my answer would definitely make the bars visible for both distributions but there may be a lot fewer bars for 1 group than the other.
Alternatively you could scale the width parameter in bar(___,width)
