Barplot not in scale

[andresrcs]

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…
