Add Connection Lines to a Barplot

Description

Add connection lines to a stacked barplot (beside = TRUE is not supported). The function expects exactly the same arguments, that were used to create the barplot.

Usage

ConnLines(..., col = 1, lwd = 1, lty = "solid", xalign = c("mar","mid"))

Arguments

...	the arguments used to create the barplot. (The dots are sent directly to barplot).
col	the line color of the connection lines. Defaults to black.
lwd	the line width for the connection lines. Default is 1.
lty	the line type for the connection lines. Line types can either be specified as an integer (0=blank, 1=solid (default), 2=dashed, 3=dotted, 4=dotdash, 5=longdash, 6=twodash) or as one of the character strings "blank", "solid", "dashed", "dotted", "dotdash", "longdash", or "twodash". Default is "solid".
xalign	defines where the lines should be aligned to on the x-axis. Can be set either to the margins of the bars ("mar" which is the default) or to "mid". The latter will lead the connecting lines to the middle of the bars.

     col=(matrix(rep(TextContrastColor(cols), each=ncol(tab)),

# align to the middle of the bars
