Hi I want to draw a rectangle behind a barplot such that it highlights those particular bars from the rest of the plot. I have figured out how to draw a barplot(), and then how to draw a rectangle of the correct shape and size (using rect()), but when I use rect() it draws over the top of the bars, and then when I re-draw the bars, it draws with a white background, thus eliminating my rectangle!

Hi, I'am trying to make a multiple bar plot over a map and I'm having difficulties with the distance between axes labels and the axis. Trying to control this with mgp does not help because it controls both axes simultaneously. For example, with default values (mgp = c(3, 1, 0)) y-axis labels are ok, but x-axis labels are not. Setting mgp = c(3, 0, 0) gives good x-axis labels but the

Dear R-users, I am using R version 2.10.1 under windows. In a barplot, I want to mark one of the bars with a special border color. For example: barplot(c(3, 7, 11), border = c(NA, "red", NA)) But how to do this when the bars are stacked? for example: barplot(matrix(1:6, ncol=3)) # border of second bar (i.e. the one with total height = 7) should be red again, I try: barplot(matrix(1:6,
