Hello, I'm making barplots out of binary data, typically 0=no 1=yes, but in some instances I have 2=Don't Know.

Anyway, when I create a juxtaposed barplot, what appears in the legend is 0,1,and 2.

I want it to read No, Yes, Don't Know.

I'm not sure how to do that.

In addition to this, the other variable that this juxtaposed barplot is grouped by is grade level, which is a string that takes the values of Elementary, Middle, and High Schools. When I create the Barplot it orders the groups in alphabetical order. Is there anyway I can change the order of the juxtaposed groupings to Elementary, Middle, and High School?

Also, is it possible to print in smaller text No,Yes, and Don't Know under each bar. If this is too hard, I'll just ignore it.


Here is an example of the code that I use.

## This is an R Script to analyze the data from the LVAC Survey

## set working directory and load data
setwd("/home/paul/LVAC/General/")
#load("/home/paul/LVAC/LVAC.RData")
General <- read.csv("/home/paul/LVAC/General.csv")

## This Data is split into three data frames for Elementary,Middle and High Schools

png(file="PTA.png")
   x <- table(General$PTA.Support, General$Grade.Level)
   #x <- table(x, exclude=NULL)
   #names(x) <- r ("Yes","No")
   yrange <- range(x,na.rm=TRUE)*1.2
       if (yrange[1]>0) yrange[1] <- 0
       if (yrange[2]<0) yrange[2] <- 0
bplot <- barplot(x,col=rainbow(if(is.matrix(x)) dim(x) else length(x)),beside=TRUE,legend.text=TRUE,ylim=yrange,
       main ="Barplot of PTA Support in Grade Levels")
   text(bplot,x,labels=x,pos=3,offset=.5)
