ggplot2 is a plotting tool for R
Usage

Bar Chart
Example bar graph:
data(mtcars)
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(mtcars, aes(x=cyl, y=wt)) +
geom_bar(stat="identity", fill="steelblue") +
xlab("Cylinders") +
ylab("Weight (1000 lbs)") +
ggtitle("Car Weight vs Cylinders") +
theme_gray() +
theme(plot.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5))

Saving Images
# Save as PDF
ggsave("barchart_example.pdf", plot=plt, width=6, height=4, device="pdf")
embedFonts(path.expand("barchart_example.pdf"))
# Save as PNG
ggsave("barchart_example.png", plot=plt, width=6, height=4, dpi=300)
For embedding in a latex file, I recommend exporting as PDF. This allows exporting as a vector format with text.
If you must export as a raster image (jpeg, png), set the dpi flag to get a high-resolution image.
Note that embed fonts requires ghostscript:
apt-get install ghostscript -y
Legends
# Move legend to the bottom
plot <- plot + theme(legend.position = "bottom")
# Set color legend to have two rows
plot <- plot + guides(color=guide_legend(nrow=2, byrow=TRUE))
