Plot table function objects with ggplot?

Question

I've got this data:

table(main$Sex1,main$District)

        Bahawalnagar Barkhan Chiniot  Faisalabad Ghotki 
Female    37           16       26       97         46          
Male      25           19       15       20         25

I can plot it with base R

barplot(table(main$Sex1,main$District))

So my question is, how can I do this with ggplot2? Thanks

Ggplot2 works the best with date in the 'long' format, your table is in wide. Can you provide a dput from main? — Wimpel

@wimpel table class is already long, it just prints in a special way. If you pass it with as.data.frame it will be long. — iod

ggplot(as.data.frame(table(main$Sex1,main$District)), aes(Var1, Freq, fill=Var2)) + 
  geom_bar(stat="identity")

table class is long, but it prints in a special way, and ggplot doesn't know how to handle it. If you pass it with as.data.frame it will be perfectly manageable by ggplot.

I found this is also working Thanks p <-ggplot(main, aes(main$District)) p +geom_bar(aes(fill = Sex1))

Yes, that's the more straightforward approach :) you can drop the "main$" inside the aes.
