stacked bar plots

Stacked Bar Plot Example

Binder

Summary

This is an example of how to create a stacked bar plot with percent family from a fish data set. Using this example you will be able to take a full data set and compute the family proportions just before plotting without the need to save a new dataframe.

Dependencies

This is dependent on the dplyr and ggplot2 libraries.

Use

To run it either use the RStudio IDE to run it interactively or use Rscript at the command line.

Rscript.exe stacked_barplot_example.R
