Re: [R] stacked bar on single-color printing
While it is possible to fill bars with patterns, it is not
recommended. Fill patterns can lead to what is called the Moire
effect and other optical illusions. Depending on the fill patterns
and how they relate to each other this can cause an illusion of
movement within the plot, straight lines appearing curved, and
distorting of lengths/positions. Fill patterns (through the
illusions) can subtly move the observer's eye away from the important
parts of a graph and make it hard to focus on the parts of the graph
that are most important. Google for phrases "Moire effect graphs" and
"optical illusion diagonal lines" for some examples.
Perhaps a dot chart (using symbols instead of colors/greyscale/fill
patterns) would be a better option than a bar chart for your case.

Re: [R] stacked bar on single-color printing
Hello,
In base graphics function barplot has arguments angle and density, see
the help page ?barplot. As an example, with the same data (note that the
argument density is recycled, 2 values, one per stacked bar times the
number of unique X vakues):
barplot(Freq ~ Y + X, tbl, density = c(10, 0))
Hope this helps,

[R] stacked bar on single-color printing
Hi, I would like to create percentage stacked bar with graphics package (e.g., ggplot2) and print it in white/black. The regular option is to use different color on the bar. Is there any way to use different background on a bar so that we can tell on a black/white printing? For example, let my green correspond to ***, while my red correspond to Thanks, J [[alternative HTML version deleted]] __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see 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.
