One way would be the use the ggplot2 and reshape packages: library(ggplot2) df <- as.data.frame(matrix(sample(1:5, 100, rep=T), ncol=5)) dfm <- melt(df, m=1:5) qplot(variable, data=dfm, geom="bar", fill=factor(value)) qplot(variable, data=dfm, geom="bar", fill=factor(value), position="dodge") qplot(variable, data=dfm, geom="bar", fill=factor(value), facets = . ~ value) Hadley ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch 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.
