Just to keep us on our toes, the required syntax for a ListPlot
and a BarChart (either of which might be used to display, for
example, a Fourier spectrum) are flipped, as in:
<<Graphics`Graphics`
dataListPlot = Table[{k, Sin[k 2 Pi/20]}, {k,0,20}];
ListPlot[dataListPlot]
dataBarChart = Table[{Sin[k 2 Pi/20], k}, {k,0,20}];
BarChart[dataBarChart]
Suggestion: It would be nice (and not too hard?) to add a
BarChart->True (i.e., "draw a line from baseline to each
list point") option to ListPlot.
