Hi Richard, many thanks for your reply.
Your solution is not exactly what I was looking for. I would like to know how I can change the colors of the stacked bars in my plot and not use the default values. How can this be done?

This will get you started. Much more fine control is available. See the examples and demo. ## install.packages("HH") ## if not yet on your system. library(HH) AA <- dfr[,-9] labels <- sort(unique(as.vector(data.matrix(AA)))) result.template <- integer(length(labels)) names(result.template) <- labels BB <- apply(AA, 2, function(x, result=result.template) { tx <- table(x) result[names(tx)] <- tx result } ) BB likert(t(BB), ReferenceZero=0, horizontal=FALSE) On Tue, Mar 28, 2017 at 6:05 AM, <g.maub...@weinwolf.de> wrote: > Hi All, > > in my current project I have to plot a whole bunch of related variables > (item batteries, e.g. How do you rate ... a) Accelaration, b) Horse Power, > c) Color Palette, etc.) which are all rated on a scale from 1 .. 4. > > I need to present the results as stacked bar charts where the variables > are columns and the percentages of the scales values (1 .. 4) are the > chunks of the stacked bar for each variable.
