I plotted a stacked bar graph in R using ggplot2 package,

 data<-read.table("K.txt",header=TRUE, sep="\t")
> data
  Sample   P1   P2   P3   P4
1     G1 0.02 0.01 0.03 0.95
2     G2 0.01 0.01 0.02 0.97
3     G3 0.01 0.01 0.02 0.97
4     G4 0.01 0.01 0.02 0.97
5     G5 0.01 0.01 0.02 0.96
6     G6 0.01 0.01 0.01 0.98
7     G7 0.05 0.01 0.01 0.93
8     G8 0.34 0.01 0.01 0.64

   Sample variable value

ggplot(data=data1, aes(x=sample, y=value, fill=variable))+geom_bar(width=1)+scale_y_continuous(expand = c(0,0))+ opts(axis.text.x=theme_text(angle=90))
Don't know how to automatically pick scale for object of type function. Defaulting to continuous
Error in data.frame(x = function (x, size, replace = FALSE, prob = NULL)  : 
  arguments imply differing number of rows: 0, 36

Can any1 help me to sort out this error?

Many thanks Ramesh

Change sample (built-in function) to Sample (your variable)

ggplot(data=data1, aes(x=Sample, y=value, fill=variable)) +
    geom_bar(width=1) +
    scale_y_continuous(expand = c(0,0)) +
    opts(axis.text.x=theme_text(angle=90))
