Hello there.

I’m trying to plot some data from a dictionary like this:

```julia
Dict{Any, Any} with 7 entries:
  "C" => 13.3147
  "C ffast-math" => 8.47802
  "Python- Built-in" => 1937.68
  "Python numpy" => 4.6551
  "Python hand-written" => 2512.43
  "Julia built-in" => 4.58879
  "Julia hand-written" => 12.8829

```

I’m using the following piece of code:

```julia
 p = plot()
x = 0:length(d)
for k ∈ keys(d)
    scatter!(x,d[k])
end

```

i’m not necessarily trying to scatter plot, it would be better for me to draw a horizontal bar plot, but I have no idea how to do that.

Using Plots, you can try this:

```julia
bar(collect(keys(d)), collect(values(d)), orientation=:horizontal)

```

or using splatting instead:

```julia
bar([keys(d)...], [values(d)...], orientation = :horizontal)

```
