Dear Deepayan and other users,

thanks a lot, that was exactly what i intended to get. However, there are 
some aspects of the plot that can be improved. 
It would be nice to have the same wisth of the bars in all panels. I saw 
the bow.width-argument, but as I understood it is no help to get a fixed 
absolute width of bars in all panels. Is there a solution?

Secondly I would like to get horizontal grid lines at the positions of the 
y-axis tick marks(from -2 to 6, increment |2|). I tried the following:


PLOT<-barchart(data=df,Ratio~reorder(Compound,as.numeric(Class))|Class,origin=0,scales=list(x=list(relation="free"),
y=list(tck=1)))

But this does not work. When using: 

P<-barchart(data=df, Ratio~reorder(Compound,as.numeric(Class))|Class, 
origin=0,
scales=list(x="free",y=list(alternating=3)),ylab="log2 ratio 
(winter/summer)",
panel=function(...){panel.barchart(...);

grid.grill(v=unit(c(-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6),"native"),default.units="native")})

i get horizontal lines, but not in correspondence with the y-scaling and 
get some
vertical lines as well. Where is my mistake? Am i refering to the wrong 
coordinate system (tried with npc, but also did not work)?

Thanks a lot for your help,

Henning
