Hi
I think the following will help:
#Load some packages
library(lattice)
library(reshape)
#Sample data
dataset.frame
<-
data.frame(id=c("a","b","c","a","c","b","a"),colour=c("blue","green","red","red","red","green","green"))
# calculate the counts
dataset.table <- table(dataset.frame)
#and reshape the table
dataset.melt <-
melt(dataset.table,measure.vars=levels(dataset.frame$colour), id.vars="id")
#now plot
barchart(colour~value|id,dataset.melt)
#for extra effect add some colours
barchart(colour~value|id,dataset.melt,col=levels(dataset.melt$colour))
