[R] Way to Plot Multiple Variables and Change Color

[Richard M. Heiberger]

I think you are looking for the likert function in the HH package.
>From ?likert


Diverging stacked barcharts for Likert, semantic differential, rating
scale data, and population pyramids.


This will get you started.  Much more fine control is available.  See
the examples and demo.

## install.packages("HH") ## if not yet on your system.

library(HH)

AA <- dfr[,-9]

labels <- sort(unique(as.vector(data.matrix(AA))))
result.template <- integer(length(labels))
names(result.template) <- labels

BB <- apply(AA, 2, function(x, result=result.template) {
  tx <- table(x)
  result[names(tx)] <- tx
  result
}
)

BB

likert(t(BB), ReferenceZero=0, horizontal=FALSE)
