[R] Barchart bar lengths not proportionate

[Walmes Zeviani]

Rex,

I think this problem can be solved using xlim()/ylim() argument. Look at the
follwing code:

require(lattice)
da <- expand.grid(A=c("a","b"), x=1:4)
da$y <- c(1,5,6,3,2,0,6,0)

barchart(y~x|A, data=da, horizontal=FALSE)

barchart(y~x|A, data=da, horizontal=FALSE,
         ylim=c(0, 1.05*max(da$y)))

At your disposal.
Walmes.
