Here:

```julia
using Plots
vals = [1.0 + rand() for _ in 1:10]
bar(vals)

```

How do I remove the space between the bars (and make them be tight)?

Hi there,  
you can add `bar(vals, bar_width=1)` and each bar will be next to each other.

Also, you can take a look at more attributes [Bar plot customizations](https://docs.juliaplots.org/stable/gallery/gr/generated/gr-ref056/)  
Let me know if this helps.
