[R] ggplot2-barplot

[ONKELINX, Thierry]

Dear Felipe,

Is this what you want?

library(ggplot2)
mydata <- data.frame(PondName = factor(LETTERS[1:5]), avgWt = rnorm(5,
mean = 10, sd = 3))
ggplot(mydata, aes(x = PondName, y = avgWt)) + geom_bar()
ggplot(mydata, aes(x = PondName, y = avgWt, fill = PondName)) +
geom_bar()

HTH,

Thierry

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more
than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to
say what the experiment died of.

The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not
ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of
data.

Hi all:
I have been using ggplot2 graphics for quite some time now and I really
like it. However, I haven't used barplots enough to understand the
arquitecture behind it. Can someone show me how to make this simple
barplot graph with ggplot2? I want "PondName" along the x axis and
"avgWt" along the Y axis which represents the avgWt by each Pond. 

PondName	avgWt
Pond01	21.5
Pond02	17.8
Pond03	17.8
Pond04	17.8
Pond05	16.375
Pond06	21.5
Pond07	21.5

Using sigmaplot or Excel is a simple task but I can't get it to work
with ggplot2. I was trying:

qplot(PondName,data=mydata,geom="bar") + geom_bar(fill=factor(PondName))
but I don't get the desired results. Thanks
