I started with the summarized data, and there are different ways to do
this. For this example, let there be four columns and a corresponding
sum of 1s.

library("ggplot2")
mydf  <- data.frame(colname = c("A","B","C","D"),mycolsum=c(1:4))
p <- ggplot(mydf,aes(x=colname,y=mycolsum))
p <- p + geom_bar(stat = "identity")

# Here is one way a legend would be created, and how to remove it.

library("ggplot2")
mydf  <- data.frame(colname = c("A","B","C","D"),mycolsum=c(1:4))
p <- ggplot(mydf,aes(fill=colname, x=colname,y=mycolsum))
p <- p + geom_bar(stat = "identity")
p + opts(legend.position = "none")
