This question has been aswered at ggplot2 : How to reduce the width AND the space between bars with geom_bar

library(tidyverse)

ggplot(data = iris,
       mapping = aes(x = Species, 
                     y = Sepal.Length))+
  geom_col(width = .5)+
  theme(aspect.ratio = 3/2)

Without aspect ratio code: enter image description here

Here is an example ggplot(data = df, aes(x=X, y=Y, fill=F)) + geom_bar(width = 0.5, position = position_dodge(width = 0.8))

position_dodge(width = 0.8) is for the space between the bars. width = 0.5 is an example for the withd of the bar itself.

Let me know if it worked :)
