Everyone including books and people answering on this website get this wrong. It does matter and the rule is simple. If your horizontal access is something where it is not possible to rank in any special order- for example favourite crisp flavours or different ways of getting to work - then the bars are separate. I think spacing of a third or half the bar width looks neatest.
If you have a horizontal axis of some grouped data, like length of leaves, then you have a histogram and the bars touch. Strictly a histogram has a vertical axis of density to accommodate different width groupings. In many cases all the widths are identical and you have a simple frequency up the vertical axis.
There does not seem any unaminity of the correct name for this animal. On the one hand I'd use "histogram" so it's clear the bars touch but then some purists object because the vertical axis isn't density. On balance I'd still call it a histogram.

Kinds of graphs for science?
Some common types of graphs used in science include line graphs to show trends over time, bar graphs to compare different categories, scatter plots to display relationships between variables, and pie charts to represent parts of a whole. Choosing the appropriate graph depends on the data being presented and the message that needs to be conveyed.
What are bar graphs for?
bar graphs are for measuring points of data.
How are bar graphs and line graphs and circle graphs different?
circle graphs add up to 100% , bar and line graphs don't
Can bar graphs be transformed into bar graphs?
well...not sure if you know this but bar graphs already ARE bar graphs, the good news is you don't have to transform them... so half your work is already done XD!

How are bar graphs and picture graphs alike?
Both bar graphs and picture graphs show statistics (data) in a visual (graphic) form.
What are the two main types of graphs?
Bar graphs and line graphs.
Is a column and bar graph the same?
Yes - in the usual orientation of bar graphs. However, bar graphs can be horizontal.
What are the meaning of bar graphs line graphs pie graphs in tagalog?
Bar graphs show an '''amount''' of data. Line graphs show data '''over time.''' Pie graphs show a '''percentage''' in the data.
