[R] Way to Plot Multiple Variables and Change Color

[Ulrik Stervbo]

Hi Georg,

I am a little unsure of what you want to do, but maybe this:

mdf <- melt(dfr)
d_result <- mdf  %>%
  dplyr::group_by(variable, value) %>%
  summarise(n = n())

ggplot(
  d_result,
  aes(variable, y = n, fill = value)) +
  geom_bar(stat = "identity")
