Barplot not in scale

[lucyb]

Hi, I can't get my barplot to be their actual size, here is my data.

Type	Respiratory Rate Mean
C	18.667
M	19.167
N	19

Type (C,M,N)
Respiratory Rate Mean (18.667,19.167,19)

Here is my code that I'm using

barplot(counts,main="Respiratory Rate Mean vs Nicotine Type", xlab="Nicotine Type",ylab="Average Respiratory Rate")![Rplot|347x500]

Here is the graph, however, I want the bar height to be the actual vaules.

Thanks in advance

Hi Lucy, welcome!

The code you have shared is not reproducible, and you didn't wait for the image to finish uploading so we can't see it either, so I'm guessing here, but I think this what you are trying to do.

library(ggplot2)

counts <- data.frame(type = c('C','M','N'),
                     respiratory_rate_mean = c(18.667,19.167,19))

ggplot(counts, aes(x = type, y = respiratory_rate_mean)) +
    geom_col() +
    labs(title = 'Respiratory Rate Mean vs Nicotine Type',
         x = 'Nicotine Type',
         y = 'Average Respiratory Rate')

For future posts please read this FAQ about making a reproducible example (like the one I did above)

FAQ: What's a reproducible example (`reprex`) and how do I create one?

Why reprex? Getting unstuck is hard. Your first step here is usually to create a reprex, or reproducible example. The goal of a reprex is to package your code, and information about your problem so that others can run it and feel your pain. Then, hopefully, folks can more easily provide a solution. What's in a Reproducible Example? Parts of a reproducible example: background information - Describe what you are trying to do. What have you already done? complete set up - include any library() calls and data to reproduce your issue. data for a reprex: Here's a discussion on setting up data for a reprex make it run - include the minimal code required to reproduce your error on the data…

Hi Andrés!
I seemed to figure it out since posting this.
I used:

barplot(c(18.667,19.167,19.000),names.arg=c("Cigarette","Menthol Cigarette","Nicotine Inhaler"), main="Respiratory Rate vs Nicotine Type",xlab="Nicotine Type",ylab="Average Respiratory Rate",ylim=c(0,20),beside=TURE)

Thank you for spending the time to explain it to me!!! Assignment due tomorrow

Also I have another question, for the life of me I can't figure out how to get a scatter plot, none of things on google will give me a scatter plot. I'm even trying to download packages.
thanks

If you have a different question, is better for you to make a new topic, and don't forget to include a reproducible example.
