[R] X Stacked bars of Y values, with bar segments colored according to Z

[Jim Lemon]

Hi Dale,
This apparently simple plot turned out to be fairly messy. "barplot"
doesn't seem to accept a matrix of colors, and "barp" doesn't yet do a
stacked plot, so I can only suggest a fairly labor intensive one-off plot:

barcol<-color.scale(x$mh,extremes=c("yellow","red"))
barheights<-rowSums(x[,2:4])
library(plotrix)
barp(barheights,xlab="x",main="Stacked bar plot")
rect(0.6,0,1.4,x[1,2],col=barcol[1])
rect(0.6,x[1,2]+x[1,3],1.4,barheights[1],col=barcol[1])
rect(1.6,0,2.4,x[2,2],col=barcol[2])
rect(1.6,x[2,2]+x[2,3],2.4,barheights[2],col=barcol[2])
rect(2.6,0,3.4,x[3,2],col=barcol[3])
rect(2.6,x[3,2]+x[3,3],3.4,barheights[3],col=barcol[3])
rect(3.6,0,4.4,x[4,2],col=barcol[4])
rect(3.6,x[4,2]+x[4,3],4.4,barheights[4],col=barcol[4])
rect(4.6,0,5.4,x[5,2],col=barcol[5])
rect(4.6,x[5,2]+x[5,3],5.4,barheights[5],col=barcol[5])

Can be streamlined a bit if it's worth the trouble

Jim
