The main problem with bar graphs are that they can only be used when all values for x are discrete and have equal weight. For instance, if we wanted to do a graph of how many people liked different colours, we could do a bar graph. Because the x axis would have values "blue" "yellow" "green" etc. and these would be discrete answers. If we wanted to do a graph of people's weight vs their height, you could not use a bar graph. This is because height would not fit into neat categories like colour does.
