Question

set.seed(357)
x <- data.frame(name = sample(letters, 10), val = runif(10), stringsAsFactors = F)
x[c(2,6),\"name\"] <- c(\"k\",\"k\")
ggplot(x, aes(x = name, y         


        

Answer 1

Try this...

x$name2 <- 1:nrow(x)
ggplot(x, aes(x = factor(name2), y = val)) + theme_bw() + geom_bar(stat = "identity") + 
             scale_x_discrete(labels=x$name)
