Understanding Grouped Bar Charts in ggplot2 The Issue with the dodge Function When creating a grouped bar chart using the ggplot2 package in R, many users have encountered an issue with the dodge function. This function is designed to prevent overlap between bars of different groups by “dodging” them against each other. However, when attempting to create a grouped bar chart with two continuous variables (i.e., values that are not categorical), the dodge function does not work as expected.
