Wrangling geom_bar

Whereas geom_col() expects you to pass it a y-axis mapping column, geom_bar() doesn't take a y-axis call (at least by default).

Instead, geom_bar() takes your x-axis mapping and counts every single observation (or row of the passed data frame) for each class and then draws bars of corresponding heights

These two code chunks will give you the same plot:

# geom_col()
data %>%
  groupby(xAxisCol) %>%
  summarize(value = n()) %>%
  ggplot(aes(x = xAxisCol, y = value) + 
  geom_col()

# geom_bar()
data %>%
  ggplot(aes(x = xAxisCol)) +
  geom_bar()

Let's use geom_bar() to make a look at observations with a large number of cases by region our WHO data.
