Hi,

Your question doesn't quite make sense to me, and since you didn't
provide a reproducible example it's impossible to really know what
you're doing.

Have you read ?barplot and tried the examples? There's a names.arg
argument that takes a character vector that is used for labels.
Otherwise the column names, if any, are used. Either of those should
work for you.

It seems that the barplot() function will only take a numeric matrix, and therefore cannot have any character vectors included. Thus, I can make a bar plot that labels the bars 1,2,3,etc., but not with the actual sample names. Any help would be appreciated.
