Almost. Catagories aren't stacked - I would like to see that x has 2 instances of "1" while y has 1 instance of "1". What's more, there are now TWO distinct barplots - the left one shows x, while the right one shows y. I could live with that, but what I'd ideally want is to have x and y beside each other for EACH catagory - so for catagory "1" you could see taht there are more x's than y's (two x's versus one y). But thanks for the help

barplot(matrix(c(x,y),ncol = 2),beside=T)

Does this help

?barplot notes

height: either a vector or matrix of values describing the bars which
         make up the plot.  If 'height' is a vector, the plot consists
         of a sequence of rectangular bars with heights given by the
         values in the vector.  If 'height' is a matrix and 'beside'
         is 'FALSE' then each bar of the plot corresponds to a column
         of 'height', with the values in the column giving the heights
         of stacked "sub-bars" making up the bar.  If 'height' is a
         matrix and 'beside' is 'TRUE', then the values in each column
         are juxtaposed rather than stacked.

Ups, it should of course be barplot() in my mail, not boxplot:-)

Hi,

I have two catagorical vectors like this;

x = c(1, 2, 4, 2, 1)
y = c(2, 4, 2 ,4, 1)

I want to set up a barplot with the catagories 1-4

horizontally and

number of occurances vertically for each vector x,y. I've tried

boxplot(table(x,y), beside=T)

and

boxplot(c(x,y), beside=T)


Have you tried barplot(), instead of boxplot()???

Cheers,

Kev
