Hi@akhtar,

A bar chart represents data in rectangular bars with the length of the bar proportional to the value of the variable. R uses the function barplot() to create bar charts. R can draw both vertical and Horizontal bars in the bar chart. The below script will create and save the bar chart in the current R working directory.

# Create the data for the chart
H <- c(7,12,28,3,41)
# Give the chart file a name
png(file = "barchart.png")
# Plot the bar chart 
barplot(H)
