Have you tried googling 'area plot in R'? There's a geom_area feature in ggplot2 which probably meets most expectations of 'high quality'. See examples and help at http://ggplot2.org/ (follow the documentation link) stackpoly in plotrix draws stacked area charts in base graphics, though you'll have to add legend manually. There's also a very pretty example using a custom base graphics functon at http://menugget.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/data-mountains-and-streams-stacked-area.html ... and so on ... Personally, I like ggplot2 for prettiness and simplicity once you have your head round the grammar, but it can be quite hard to get to that point and it is perhaps _too_ pretty for publication line drawings. So for single graphs I generally stick to base graphics. S Ellison ******************************************************************* This email and any attachments are confidential.
