Thanks Thierry, will have a go when back in the office tomorrow. I had tried ggplot as opposed to qplot but didn't get any further.
I'm actually after a greyscale graph for black and white printing (red etc was just so I could see the change before tweaking further). A reasonably thorough online search suggests there are no ways to fill with diagonal lines or '+' symbols and what not (posts from late 2009), you don't know if anything has changed on that front do you? -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/ggplot2-bar-colour-tp2546693p2546794.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
