Dear R-users,

apologies for the total beginner's question, but I have been trying to
solve this problem for ages and I seem to be getting nowhere. I also
have tried to search through the archives of the R mailing list, but I
am still left with my problem. How do I change the width of the bars
for this simple barplot? I understand that the the "width" argument
might do what I want and I have tried to use it to change the width of
the bars e.g. width=c(0.01,0.01,0.01), but it does not do what I want.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

# some data
d<-c(-4.227684e-04,2.012307e-04,4.085164e-05)
s<-c(3.588785e-05,9.133071e-05,2.072433e-05)

# barplot colour
barcol<-c("#6E8B3D","#FFB90F","#8B0000","#6E8B3D","#FFB90F","#8B0000","#6E8B3D","#FFB90F","#8B0000")

# create barplot
barplot(d,col=barcol,ylim=c(min(d-s*1.25),max(d+s*1.25)),space=0.1)


thanks in advance for your help

Best wishes,

Mario
