Hi Jim- Thanks for your help.  I am not sure how to execute your
instructions... I used the space argument to to equally space the bars
(barplot(data, space=c(1,1,1,1,1,1)).

How do I get the "x positions in the return values".  Take care,


xp <- barplot(.....)

Then take a look into xp.

Hello- I am having trouble making a barplot...

The y-values are:
data=c(-0.0002129061,0.**0000000000,-0.0002699561,0.**
0163883061,0.0400000000).

The x-values are distance=c(0, 71, 172, 206, 292).
The desired x-range is 0 and ~300+ (kilometers), range=seq(0,300,1)

I would like to make a bar plot with the bar locations along the x-axis
spaced according to their distances.

I have tried barplot(distance, data)... but this produces a very strange
plot.

plot(distance, data) is almost correct, except it is a scatter plot.

Thanks for any help you can provide, I must be missing something very
obvious.

  Hi Jack,
You can use the space argument in barplot to do this by running barplot
with equally spaced bars, and getting the x positions of the bars in the
return values. Then just space the bars out as needed with a vector of
"space" values. This should give you a reasonable looking x axis, but you
might have to pass the cumulative sum of bar positions and spaces if you
want each bar labelled.

Jim
