i.e., e.g.,
data(VADeaths)
barplot(VADeaths, beside=TRUE, legend=rownames(VADeaths),ylim=c(30,100))
which may not be as desired, but not really wrong either.
(and as Jari Oksanen just said, can be amended by setting `xpd=FALSE')
However, cutting off a barplot() like that seems VERY MUCH like a bad
example of applying
`` How to Lie With Statistics ''
(used to be a "must read" : Darrel Huff (1954) {How to Lie With Statistics} )
and maybe we should not allow this easily with barplot(). .. :-)
