[R] Beginner question on bar plot

[Peter Alspach]

Tena koe Steven

cutData <- rbind(summary(Acut), summary(Bcut))
barplot(cutData, beside=TRUE)

should get you started.  The challenge, as you identify, is to get the data into the appropriate form and the simple approach I have used may not work for your real data.
