Hi Josh, I couldn't work out how to do this in ggplot, but here is a possible solution:
tagSummary<-read.csv(text="speciesSci,recvDeployName,nDet Arenaria interpres,Bucktoe Preserve,96 Arenaria interpres,CHDE,132 Arenaria interpres,Fortescue,22133 Arenaria interpres,Mispillion,2031 Arenaria interpres,Norbury,3709 Arenaria interpres,Penn - DRL,49 Calidris alba,Bucktoe Preserve,56 Calidris alba,CHDE,145 Calidris alba,Fortescue,19000 Calidris alba,Mispillion,2200 Calidris alba,Norbury,3900 Calidris alba,Penn - DRL,40 Calidris canutus,Bucktoe Preserve,77 Calidris canutus,CHDE,100 Calidris canutus,Fortescue,15000 Calidris canutus,Mispillion,1831 Calidris canutus,Norbury,3100 Calidris canutus,Penn - DRL,60") par(mar=c(10,6,4,2),las=2) barpos<-barplot(nDet~speciesSci+recvDeployName,tagSummary,xlab="",ylab="", col=2:4) par(las=0) mtext("recvDeployName",side=1,line=8) mtext("nDet",side=2,line=4) xpos<-matrix(rep(barpos,3),ncol=3) # get stacked heights ypos<-matrix(tagSummary$nDet,ncol=3) library(plotrix) ypos<-t(matrix(tagSummary$nDet,ncol=3)) barlabels(barpos,ypos) legendpos<-locator(1) legend(legendpos[1],legendpos[2],unique(tagSummary$speciesSci),fill=2:4) Your big problem is that three observation sites have tiny values compared to the rest. As always there is a kludge available. Replace the call to barlabels with the following: barlabels(barpos[3:5],ypos[,3:5]) text(rep(barpos[c(1,2,6)],each=3),rep(c(5000,7500,10000),3), ypos[,c(1,2,6)],col=rep(2:4,3)) This gives you a legible plot, although you will probably have to play with the "rep" numbers to get it to work for your entire data set.
