Hello,

I forgot to add that if you use argument beside = TRUE, you can have as many colors as there are bars, but this is not the kind of graph you want. (This behavior makes a lot of sense if you look at the underlying code for barplot.)

Hello,

According to the code in file src/R/graphics/barplot.R, barplot() will
draw column by column, and threfore use as many colors as rows in the
matrix. Those colors will be reused for all bars. So I'm not seeing an
easy way of doing what you want using base graphics. Not without
changing the code for barplot().


Hope this helps,

Dear all,

I have a 2 by 2 matrix and I would like to do a barplot with it.  (so
2 bars with each having 2 stacks.).  I would like to have one colors
per stack, so 4 different colors total.
The problem is that R is only given me 2 colors (the same two for the
bottom stack and the same two for the top stack).  Any idea how I can
do to have 4 colors? (without using ggplot2 preferably)
Here is my code

w <- matrix(table(cutMF12G3),2,2)
w
      [,1] [,2]
[1,]    8   13
[2,]    8    8

barplot(w, main="2012", col=c("red", "green", "blue", "pink"))

Thanks in advance for your help.

François
