To the volunteers of R-Help. Hello, I am currently stuck on an RStudio assignment. The assignment involves creating a double bar graph with the provided info http://math.fullerton.edu/mori/data/introstats/pennstate3.txt My professor has only gone over the very basics of RStudio and we only learned how to make a simple bar graph and labeling x and y axis. The specific directions from my professor: Draw a side-by-side bar graph of the variables WtFeel and Sex. The x-axis, should include the variable WtFeel, and the side-by-side bars should be the Sex categories. Color Males by blue, and females by red. Also, give a legend and a title for your graph. I know how to do the labeling and coloring of the graph, but the actually plotting of a double bar graph eludes me. I do not expect a full-on answer (though it would be nice), but at least a guide on what to do because I am so lost. Thank you [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

You could use the likert plot in the HH package. Look particulsrly at the population pyramid example.

No solution since it is a school work exercise but some hints: First read the barplot help. Enter ?barplot to bring it up. I find it best to Then have a look at ?par specifically the mfcol, mfrow entry. Also just google for something like " R statistics barplot color / colour " and so on This should get you started.
