How to use columns as x-axis in RStudio

Question

Here is my data:

How do I make it so that the column names appear on the x axis? I will probably use the facet function so that the number values aren't next to the duration values, so one graph will have these on the x axis: "Number Looks", "Number Gesture", "Number Reach", "Number Other" for group A, and another graph will have these on the x axis: "Duration Looks", "Duration Gesture", "Duration Reach", "Duration Other" for group A, with the data below the column titles as the y-axis values. I will also have to generate the data for group B in the same way

Here is how we could achieve your task:

1. Bring your data in the correct format with pivot_longer
2. Use filter for each number and Duration
3. Now you have to separate dataframes
4. plot them individually with ggplot2 using facet_wrap for group A and B
5. The output arranged with plot_grid from cowplot package!

library(cowplot)
library(tidyverse)

df_number <- df %>% 
    pivot_longer(
        cols = 3:12,
        names_to = "names",
        values_to = "values"
    ) %>% 
    filter(grepl('Number', names))

df_Duration <- df %>% 
    pivot_longer(
        cols = 3:12,
        names_to = "names",
        values_to = "values"
    ) %>% 
    filter(grepl('Duration', names))

plot_number <- ggplot(df_number, aes(x=factor(names), y=values)) +
    geom_bar(stat = "identity") + 
    xlab("Number") + 
    ylab("Value") +
    facet_wrap(~Group) +
    theme_bw()

plot_Duration <- ggplot(df_Duration, aes(x=factor(names), y=values)) +
    geom_bar(stat = "identity") + 
    xlab("Duration") + 
    ylab("Value") +
    facet_wrap(~Group) +
    theme_bw()


plot_grid(plot_number, plot_Duration, labels = "AUTO")

data:

df <- structure(list(Participant = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,
