| x | Data frame or comma-delimited file (*.csv) - a frequency table. | 
| xvar | String. Name of X variable. | 
| yvar | String. Name of the y variable (e.g., FREQ). | 
| grpvar | String. Name of the variable for grouping. | 
| errbars | Logical. If TRUE, error bars are added to bar plot (sevar or psevar must also be populated). | 
| x.order | String or Vector. Define order of xvar based on y values: descending ("DESC") or ascending ("ASC") or vector of row numbers. If NULL, the order of the input table is used. | 
| sevar | String. Name of the variable with standard error values. | 
| psevar | String. Name of the variable with percent standard error. | 
| device.type | String. Type(s) of device for plotting ("dev.new", "jpg", "pdf"). | 
| jpeg.res | Integer. Resolution for jpeg image. | 
| device.height | Integer. Height (in inches) of barplot, if writing to file. | 
| device.width | Integer. Width (in inches) of barplot, if writing to file. | 
| horiz | Logical. If TRUE, bars are drawn horizontally with first bar at the bottom. If FALSE, bars are drawn vertically with first bar to the left (barplot parameter). | 
| toplabelvar | String. Name of variable in x for adding labels to place above each bar (e.g., NBRPLOTS.gt0). | 
| ylim | Number. A vector of min and max values, c(min,max) for the y axis (or x axis if horiz=TRUE). If NULL, defaults to maximum y value. If errbars=TRUE, the ylim defaults to the maximum y value plus the standard error. | 
| divideby | String. Conversion number for output ('hundred', 'thousand', 'million'). | 
| ylabel | String. Label for the y axis (same as ylab). | 
| xlabel | String. Label for the x axis (same as xlab). | 
| mar | See par.. A numerical vector representing number of lines for margins (c(bottom, left, top, right). | 
| addlegend | Logical. If TRUE, adds legend to bar plot (only applicable if grouping). | 
| main | String. Title for plot. | 
| cex.main | Number. Expansion factor for title. | 
| cex.label | Number. A number representing cex in barplot (size expansion of x and/or ylabels. | 
| cex.names | Number. Expansion factor for axis names (bar labels) (e.g., 0.5 represents half the size. | 
| las.xnames | Number. The direction of x variable names (0,1,3). 0:diagonal (Default), 1:horizontal; 3:vertical. | 
| las.ynames | Number. The direction of y variable names (0,1,3). 0:diagonal (Default), 1:horizontal; 3:vertical. | 
| savedata | Logical. If TRUE, writes output data to outfolder (jpg and pdf). | 
| outfolder | String. The name of the output folder. If savedata=TRUE, all output saved to the outfolder. If savedata=FALSE, only a text file of input parameters is saved. | 
| outfn | String. The name of the output file if savedata=TRUE (*.csv). Do not include extension. If NULL, the file will be named BARPLOT_'yvar_date'.csv | 
| outfn.pre | String. Add a prefix to output name (e.g., "01"). | 
| outfn.date | Logical. If TRUE, add date to end of outfile (e.g., outfn_'date'.csv). | 
| overwrite | Logical. If TRUE and exportshp=TRUE, overwrite files in outfolder. | 
| ... | additional arguments to pass to barplot(), including a list of arguments for legend() arguments (e.g., args.legend=list(x="topleft", bty="n"), for moving legend to topleft and removing box around legend). | 
If parameters = NULL, then it will prompt user for input.
Outputs barplot to display window.
If savedata = TRUE, writes a jpg and pdf of barplot to outfolder.
To add legend parameters, add a parameter named args.legend, defined as a list of specific legend parameters (see ?legend)... e.g., args.legend=list(x="topright"). If specifying x and y, x defines the lower right corner of legend box and y defines the upper right corner of box.

# Set up data frame for example

                            FREQ = c(110, 7, 900, 410, 155),

# Create basic barplot
