I`ve read all the manuals and still couln`t find what is the difference between the stacked and side-by-side barplots ? Could you explain me ? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

First, produce two barplots for comparison:> par(mfrow=c(2,1) ) > barplot(VADeaths,beside=TRUE) > barplot(VADeaths)The same information is in both plots; in the top, it is displayed as 5 separate bars for each group, and in the stacked plot it is shown as 5 separate regions in each of the four bars. The hight of each of these regions is the same as the hight of the corresponding bar in the side-by-side plot. The stacked plot enables you to see overall differences more easily (easier to see that the death rate is highest for Urban Males), but it is harder to compare the sizes of the categories.
