Hello everyone: I want to draw a Par plot but I don't know how to choose different pattern of of colors for different bars to be able to distinguish them in a black and white print. I want some kinds of patterns on the bars such as '///' or '\\\' or … Suppose I have the following data in the R.dat file: 1.29 22.43 1.92 5.08 18.70 0.00 2.19 33.69 1.92 2.95 20.39 0.00 3.29 36.16 4.48 and I am using the following code: MP<-read.table(file='R.dat') names(MP)<-c('BL','LR','Q') cols<- <<<<I want white when 'Q' column has zero and different kind of patterns when 'Q' is 1.92 and another pattern when 'Q' is 4.48 Graph<-barplot(MP$LR, col=cols, width=(MP$BL)) Thanks [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
