Hi Paul,

for the first question try ?grid

as in:

> barplot(1:10)
> grid(nx = NA, ny = NULL, col = "red")

nx = NA sets no lines on x-axis. ny = NULL draws lines from all tick marks on the y-axis.

Thanks to those who pointed me at the solutions to the legend
overprinting the bars.  I took the "easy" way of rescaling the y
axis, picking the scaling factor for stacked bars is somewhat
problematic but sufficient for my application.

I have another couple of barplot questions:

- Can I extend the major ticks on the Y axis across the page?  Or
both axes to form a grid?

- A really neat graph for me would be a combination of side-by-side
and stacked bars in a single plot to display an additional category.

The background on the second problem is that I am displaying software
defect metrics.  For each month (the bins) the categories of interest
are: - new/fixed/closed - numeric severity (1 - 5)

I am currently displaying 5 separate graphs (6 when you take the
aggregate into account) with new/fixed/closed side-by-side.  If
within the side-by-side graphs I could show the severity stacked that
would be very neat.

Cheers
