R Programming language - R Bar Plot

In R, you can create a bar plot using the barplot() function. The barplot() function takes one or more vectors or matrices of values to plot, and several optional arguments to customize the appearance of the plot.

Here is a basic example of how to create a bar plot in R:

# Create a vector of values to plot
values <- c(10, 20, 30, 40, 50)

# Create a bar plot of the values
barplot(values)

This will create a simple bar plot with bars representing each value in the vector.

You can customize the appearance of the bar plot by using the optional arguments of the barplot() function. For example, you can change the color of the bars by setting the col argument:

# Create a bar plot of the values with red bars
barplot(values, col = "red")

You can also add a title to the plot using the main argument:

# Create a bar plot of the values with a title
barplot(values, main = "My Bar Plot")

You can create a horizontal bar plot by setting the horiz argument to TRUE:

# Create a horizontal bar plot of the values
barplot(values, horiz = TRUE)

In addition, you can create stacked or grouped bar plots by passing a matrix of values to the barplot() function:

# Create a matrix of values to plot
values_matrix <- matrix(c(10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 15, 25, 35, 45, 55), nrow = 5)

# Create a stacked bar plot of the matrix
barplot(values_matrix, col = c("red", "blue"))

This will create a stacked bar plot with bars representing each row of the matrix, and different colors for each group of bars.
