Plot qualitative y axis

Hi all,

I?m trying to plot this data

N M W
I 10 106
II 124 484
III 321 874
IV 777 1140
V 896 996
VI 1706 1250
VII 635 433
VIII 1437 654
IX 693 333
X 1343 624
XI 1221 611
XII 25 15
XIII 3
XIV 7 8
So that in de Y axis will be the level (qualitative data) and in the X axis
will be M and W variables. So x axis will be wwith a lenght between 0 and
2000.

I would like to plot a line with M and other with W so it will be obvious
that above V (in the Y axis) thera are more W and below level V there are
more M.

Can you please guide me?

In excel putting Y as X axis is easy but dind?nt achieve to invert rows and
I ?m trying to plot it in R.

Many thanks in advance

See ?barplot and set the horiz  argument to TRUE.

(This is in the base R plotting version. The ggplot2 and lattice systems
have other ways of doing this)

Note: if you search on e.g. "barplots in R" or similar, you should find
numerous examples with code.

Cheers,
Bert

What I think is the ggplot2 version of what you want. Note that I am using the reshape2 package which is a bit old fashioned.? 

=============================================================library(reshape2)
library(ggplot2)

dat1? <- structure(list(N = c("I", "II", "III", "IV", "V", "VI", "VII", 
"VIII", "IX", "X", "XI", "XII", "XIII", "XIV"), M = c(10L, 124L, 
321L, 777L, 896L, 1706L, 635L, 1437L, 693L, 1343L, 1221L, 25L, 
3L, 7L), W = c(106L, 484L, 874L, 1140L, 996L, 1250L, 433L, 654L, 
333L, 624L, 611L, 15L, NA, 8L)), .Names = c("N", "M", "W"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, 
-14L))

dat2? <- melt(dat1)
