How to plot this

[Riomo]

Hey im whriting on an Essay and i would like make a Barplot like this:

I can do everything i just cant find a way to make the bars start at different hights.
I also cant find a different plottype to do that. The closest would be boxplots bot they have all these unneccesery lines.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, welcome!

We don't really have enough info to help you out. Could you ask this with a minimal REPRoducible EXample (reprex)? A reprex makes it much easier for others to understand your issue and figure out how to help.

If you've never heard of a reprex before, you might want to start by reading this FAQ:

FAQ: How to do a minimal reproducible example ( reprex ) for beginners

A minimal reproducible example consists of the following items: A minimal dataset, necessary to reproduce the issue The minimal runnable code necessary to reproduce the issue, which can be run on the given dataset, and including the necessary information on the used packages. Let's quickly go over each one of these with examples: Minimal Dataset (Sample Data) You need to provide a data frame that is small enough to be (reasonably) pasted on a post, but big enough to reproduce your issue. Let's say, as an example, that you are working with the iris data frame head(iris) #> Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species #> 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2…

# first way

ggplot() +
  geom_ribbon(aes(
    ymin = -2,
    ymax = 2,
    x = c(0, 1)
  )) +
  geom_ribbon(aes(
    ymin = -1,
    ymax = 1,
    x = c(1, 2)
  )) +
  geom_ribbon(aes(
    ymin = 1,
    ymax = 4,
    x = c(2, 3)
  )) + xlab("x") + ylab("y")


# second way

t1 <- tribble(
  ~ymin, ~ymax, ~x,
  -2, 2, 0,
  -2, 2, 1,
  -1, 1, 1,
  -1, 1, 2,
  1, 4, 2,
  1, 4, 3
)


ggplot(
  data = t1,
  aes(
    ymin = ymin,
    ymax = ymax,
    x = x
  )
) +
  geom_ribbon()+ ylab("y")

The first approach is probably the better one, because then it can be coloured individually (if needed)

ggplot() +
  geom_ribbon(aes(
    ymin = -2,
    ymax = 2,
    x = c(0, 1)), fill = "steelblue") +
  geom_ribbon(aes(
    ymin = -1,
    ymax = 1,
    x = c(1, 2)), fill = "palegreen4") +
  geom_ribbon(aes(
    ymin = 1,
    ymax = 4,
    x = c(2, 3)), fill = "sienna3") + 
  xlab("x") + ylab("y")
