Hi All, I'm using the following code to produce some stacked bar graphs.
*setwd("C:\\Users\\Tinus\\Documents\\NMMU\\R\\Seamounts")* *SChla <- read.csv("SM_Chla_data.csv")* * * *#Extract mean values from data file* * * *Coral <- SChla[185:223,] #Reduce SChla to Coral only* *coral <- with(Coral , aggregate(cbind(Pico, Nano, Micro), list(Depth),FUN=mean))* *rownames(coral) <- coral[,1] * *coral <- t(coral[,-1]) # Remove Station col and transpose* *barplot(coral, main="Size fractionated Chl a for Coral", * * ylab = "Coral", xlim = c(0,8), horiz = TRUE,* * xlab = expression ("Chlorophyll a " ~~ (mu*g ~ l^{-1})), * * col =c("light green", "green", "dark green"),* * legend = rownames(coral))* Here is the *head(Coral) *before station col removal and t() Seamount Station Depth Pico Nano Micro Total_Ch 185 Coral 1401 Surface 0.216 3.270 4.240 7.726 186 Coral 1401 Fmax 0.359 3.890 4.900 9.149 187 Coral 1401 Below 0.178 1.360 1.210 2.748 188 Coral 1402 Surface 0.231 4.140 3.670 8.041 189 Coral 1402 Fmax 0.863 4.340 3.750 8.953 190 Coral 1402 Below 0.176 0.386 0.214 0.776 So I use the same code for the six other seamounts. The depth has the following values surface, shallow, deep, fmax and below . These are in order as you go down the water column. The problem is when I use the *coral <- with(Coral , aggregate(cbind(Pico, Nano, Micro), list(Depth),FUN=mean)) *the depth values gets stored in ascending values. head(coral) Group.1 Pico Nano Micro 1 Below 0.1652727 0.8610909 0.7227273 2 Deep 0.1480000 1.1700000 1.1000000 3 Fmax 0.3067273 3.1845455 3.2245455 4 Shallow 0.2617500 1.8242500 1.8637500 5 Surface 0.1693333 2.7083333 2.7858333 I would like to maintain the order surface, shallow, deep, fmax and below. *Or *if there is a way I can rearrange the yaxis in the order surface, shallow, deep, fmax and below. Any suggestions? Thank you Tinus -- M.J.
