I can run both variants without error, though both throw the same warning
regarding stacking beein 'not well defined ..'
However, the axis scaling in your second variant appears to work if you add a
limits=(c(-200,200) statement to the y scale, as in
ggplot(data=df,aes(x=df$ag))+geom_bar(subset=.(df$variable=="males"),aes(y=df$value),stat="identity",fill="#330099")+
geom_bar(subset=.(df$variable=="females"),aes(y=-df$value),stat="identity",fill="#FF9333")+
scale_y_continuous(limits=c(-200,200),
breaks=seq(-200,200,50),labels=abs(seq(-200,200,50)))+
scale_x_continuous(breaks=seq(1,18,1),labels=abs(seq(1,18,1)))+coord_flip()+
theme_bw()+xlab("age group")+ylab("population")
I suspect that by specifying the bar values separately from the data supplied
in the data statement, you've confused ggplot's automatic scaling somewhere.
But you may have to wait on hadley Wickam's input to find out exactly why.
