[R] barplot fill patterns

[Hector L. Ayala-del-Rio]

Dear R-helpers,

   I will like to know if  there is a way to generate a stacked column  
graph using both patterns and colors to fill the bars.  I have many  
categories for the number of color available in R, so I will like R to  
start with solid colors and then use patterns an colors.  I have been  
using barplot and some code that I found in the archives, but I am  
still having bars with the exact same color and patterns even though  
they belong to different categories.  How many different colors are  
available in R??  I know it is a silly question but I have looked  
everywhere and I can not find it.  I have also tried to add the legend,  
with the difficulty that overlaps with the plot.  Does anybody know how  
to adjust the size of the graph and the legend so they can fit in the  
same page???  Below is how part of the data looks and the code I have  
been using.  Any suggestions are welcome

thanks

Hector
