Examples

data("GHQ", package = "HSAUR")
male <- subset(GHQ, sex == "male")
female <- subset(GHQ, sex == "female")
layout(matrix(1:2, ncol = 2))
barplot(t(as.matrix(male[,c("cases", "non.cases")])), main = "Male", xlab = "GHC score")
barplot(t(as.matrix(male[,c("cases", "non.cases")])), main = "Female", xlab = "GHC score")
