Hi everyone,



I determined the presence of three types parasites in a passerine bird
over two years. I would like to create a bar chart that shows the
proportion infected on the y and year/parasite on the x such that each
type of parasite is grouped together (single label) and a bar for each
year .  This would show if there have been changes in the prevalence of
a the parasite over two years.



This is the summary data:



Parasite                Year       Infected

Leukocytozoon 2009       0.2564

Plasmodium       2009       0.3846

Hemoproteus    2009       0.0769

Leukocytozoon 2010       0.0562

Plasmodium       2010       0.7079

Hemoproteus    2010       0.3034

Any                        2009       0.5128

Any                        2010       0.7753



Here are rows 86 to 92.  Band and site were recorded differently each
year but these are not part of any calculation.



    Year       band     site Plasmodium Hemoproteus Leukocytozoon Any

Any suggestions on how to create this plot would be greatly appreciated.


Hi Jeff,
I think this could be done with the barNest function, nesting the year bars within the parasite bars. If you can't figure it out, send the complete dataset and I can provide an example.
