Ellen,

Is this what you are looking for?

library(HH)
sed <- read.table(textConnection("
sed_depth FT value

closeAllConnections()

sed2 <- matrix(sed$value, 4, 5, dimnames=list(sed$FT[c(1,6,11,16)],
sed$sed_depth[1:5]), byrow=TRUE)
sed3 <- cbind(sed2[4:1, 5:1], '1'=0, '2'=0, '3'=0, '4'=0, '5'=0)
result <- plot.likert(sed3, horizontal=FALSE)
result$legend$bottom$args$text <- result$legend$bottom$args$text[1:5]
result$legend$bottom$args$rect$col <-
result$legend$bottom$args$rect$col[1:5]

result


If yes, please write me off-list and we can tinker with the appearance.
