Hydro? Canadian, eh? By the way, I just stole the solution from the Cookbook for R http://wiki.stdout.org/rcookbook/Graphs/Legends%20%28ggplot2%29/ Here is a slightly different approach using the RColorBrewer package. The colours are a bit less garish than the ones I randomly picked. library(ggplot2) p <- ggplot(data=tempTable, aes(x=Bands8, y=AvailableMWNewFormat, fill=as.factor(FuelTypeNum))) + geom_bar(position="stack", stat="identity")+ coord_flip() + scale_fill_brewer(palette="Set1", name="Energy\nSources", breaks=c("1", "2", "4", "5"), labels=c("biomass", "coal", "gas", "hydro")) p John Kane Kingston ON Canada > -----Original Message----- > From: ja...@crosb.ie > Sent: Fri, 8 Jun 2012 10:29:11 -0700 (PDT) > To: r-help@r-project.org > Subject: Re: [R] ggplot incorrect legend > > Thank you, that was very helpful. > > Would it be possible to rename the legend values as well.
