R help - May 2004 - log Y scales for parplot

Hi,

I am doing a barplot, and the fist bar is very big (high values) and 
the rest of the bars are quite small (small values). So - is there any 
way to make the  Y scale logarithmic so that i have a wider 
distance from 0 to 50 for example than for 50 to 100, and so on? 

Thanks in advance for any help,

Monica

Monica,

See the barplot2() function in the 'gregmisc' package on CRAN, which
supports the use of log axis scaling.

For example:

barplot2(c(5000, 50, 75, 100), log = "y")


HTH,
