Something like barplot(VADeaths, beside = TRUE, col = c("lightblue", "mistyrose", "lightcyan", "lavender", "cornsilk"), legend = rownames(VADeaths), ylim = c(0, 100)) title(main = "Death Rates in Virginia", font.main = 4) or maybe you could try ggplot2 Regards Petr > > What Excel produced: > <http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n4647099/abdeens_benthic_cover.jpg> > (The image has mean %cover as the y-value instead of mean count but the > example still applies) > > I've spent several hours looking for code to do this but didn't find > anything.
