How to make a plot?

That can be done very easy using a program that can deal with layers,
for example the Gimp.
Just make one layer containing the barplot and one layer containing the
background image. Then you can do all kind of nice things.

Directly in R, I don't have a clue, but it wouldn't surprise me
if someone will show you an example ;)

JeeBee.

Does anyone have an idea of how to make a chart in R like the
ones here that use a graphic:
