There are examples in ?barplot, where the VADeaths data is used. The key
is the use of 'beside = TRUE', to enable grouped bars:

barplot(VADeaths, beside = TRUE,
        col = c("lightblue", "mistyrose", "lightcyan",
                "lavender", "cornsilk"),
        legend = rownames(VADeaths), ylim = c(0, 100))

To see what the VADeaths data set looks like:

 > VADeaths

See ?barplot for more information.

There is also an R Graphics Gallery with code at:

and From Data to Graphics at:

Both of which are helpful.
