what is your suggestion for distinguishing between many bars without
color?
Exactly. Sometimes colour printing can be expensive.
I have grown up in the time of standarized tests - good or bad
I never felt nauseous.
Ni moi non plus.

I think the fact that the grid package does not support cross-
hatching is a feature not a bug (or deficiency), and I hope that
this is not "fixed". Tufte's book (The Visual Display of
Quantitative Information) has a section on why cross-hatching
should be avoided (unless of course your goal is to induce nausea
in the observer rather than convey information).
I would edit Hadley's statement below to say "fortunately there's
no way to do this in ggplot2".

Subject: Re: [R] Bar Plot ggplot2 Filling bars with cross hatching
Hi Stephen,
#I am putting a test together for an introductory biology class
and I
would like to put different cross hatching inside of each bar
for the
bar plot below
ggplot2 uses the grid package to do all the drawing, and currently
grid doesn't support cross-hatching, so unfortunately there's no way
to do this in ggplot2.
Regards,
Hadley

Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are
so little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and
make us feel like gods. We are mammals, and have not exhausted the
annoying little problems of being mammals.
