R help - Jun 2011 - two panel figure using barplot2

I am trying to make a two panel figure using barplot2 in gplots. When  
I use par(mfrow=c(1,2)), two panels are created but both barplots are  
overlaid on top of one another in the first panel and the second panel  
is left blank.  Am I running into problems because I of some  
complexities of gplots? Is there a simple way to make a two panel  
figure with two barplots side by side using barplot2?

Thank you,

Hi,

barplot2() from the gplots CRAN package is built upon the standard barplot() R
function. I can run the following code here just fine:


  require(gplots)

  par(mfrow = c(1, 2))

  barplot2(1:5)

  barplot2(6:10)


and end up with side by side plots.  If you post a minimal example of the code
that you are using that reproduces the error, we can help you better in trying
to determine what may be happening on your end.
