Why would you say that?
`The last thing I did was an area graph that you could click and drag one of the edges and it would update the numbers in the legend as you did it.`
That doesn't sound like "just send my data to a bar chart" to me.

Out of curiosity, what would you use for "just send my data to a bar chart?"
I really like chart.js
http://www.chartjs.org/samples/latest/
The examples do "cubic" instead of just "connecting the dots" but luckily it can be turned off:

Google Charts is an option I use a lot - surprised more people don't know about it. Maybe just because it was developed before the hip new land of React? (A bunch of react wrappers exist for it though)
In addition to the alternatives already mentioned I really like https://frappe.io/charts
What the other replies said.

HighCharts for paid, Chart.js for open source.
Flot is also a good choice. It's old now and hasn't been updated in a long while but if I'm not mistaken, grafana still makes use of it.
Wrong tool for the job.
D3 fills the void between "just send my data to a bar chart" and "I need some charts, maybe I'll use raw JS to manipulate SVG's". You're probably in the former camp.
