R help - May 2003 - Barchart to make a graph like this??

Hi list,

I'm trying to get R to make a graph like the one shown in this pdf, where
males are white bars and females are black bars.

http://www.brrc.unr.edu/~knussear/mmgraph.pdf

I tried barchart, but I couldnt get the bars to share a common x axis.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks for your help

Ken

Hello,

Please check the search engines available in the Mailing Lists and look
for "bar", there is a similar post dated February 2002 titled:
"Smoothed lines over barplots"

Hope it helps,
Carlos Ortega.

I'm assuming by this you mean barchart in the lattice package.

Some information on the form of your data would have helped.

This is not the standard form of a barchart, so you need to fudge some things. 
First of all, make the values in one of the groups (the ones you want on the 
left) negative. Then barchart with groups (or use + in the formula, depending 
on the form of your data), stack=TRUE should give you what you want. Of 
course, the axis labels will be negative, you need to control those using 
scales.
