I suspect that Scott really means barchart (i.e. Trellis/Lattice style plot).

I'd be very interested in the answer as well (just got a request for such a beast from a collaborator).  I think it wouldn't be too hard to write, but might require some work with the lattice package so to switch all labels -- default settings do not seem to like "factors" on the X (bottom) axis, at least based on preliminary investigation.

best,
