Hello, I have got another problem. I wrote a function which is able to create plots with different numbers of bars. In order to give them a similar look I determined the width of the bars using the parameters width=0.59 AND ylim=c(0,10)) (see function below) Now, this only works if I have just got up to 6 double bars. In the following example it doesn't work because the bars for the
