[R] ggplot - Setting the y-scale in a bar plot

[hadley wickham]

Hi Pedro,

What's the problem exactly?  You'll need to compute the range
yourself, and then use scale_y_continuous as you have below.

(Also you can abbreviate the bar chart plotting command to:
qplot(x, y, data=plotdata, geom="bar", stat="identity"))
