#' LAPOP Bar/Histogram Graphs
#'
#' This function creates dataframes which can then be input in lapop_hist for
#' showing a bar graph using LAPOP formatting.
#'
#' @param data A survey object.  The data that should be analyzed.
#' @param outcome Character. Outcome variable of interest.
#' @param filesave Character.  Path and file name to save the dataframe as csv.
#' @param cfmt Character. Changes the format of the numbers displayed above the bars.
#' Uses sprintf string formatting syntax. Default is whole numbers.
#' @param sort Character. On what value the bars are sorted.
#' Options are "y" (for the value of the outcome variable), "xv" (default; for
#' the underlying values of the x variable), "xl" (for the labels of the x variable,
#' i.e., alphabetical).
#' @param order Character.  How the bars should be sorted.  Options are "hi-lo"
#' or "lo-hi" (default).
#' @param keep_nr Logical.  If TRUE, will convert "don't know" (missing code .a)
#' and "no response" (missing code .b) into valid data (value = 99).
#' The default is to examine valid responses only.  Default: FALSE.
#'
#' @return Returns a data frame, with data formatted for visualization by lapop_hist
