ggplot2 (version 1.0.0)

coord_flip: Flipped cartesian coordinates.

Description

Flipped cartesian coordinates so that horizontal becomes vertical, and vertical, horizontal. This is primarily useful for converting geoms and statistics which display y conditional on x, to x conditional on y.

Usage

coord_flip(...)

Arguments

...

Other arguments passed onto coord_cartesian

Examples

# Very useful for creating boxplots, and other interval
# geoms in the horizontal instead of vertical position.
qplot(cut, price, data=diamonds, geom="boxplot")
last_plot() + coord_flip()

qplot(cut, data=diamonds, geom="bar")
last_plot() + coord_flip()

h <- qplot(carat, data=diamonds, geom="histogram")
h
h + coord_flip()
h + coord_flip() + scale_x_reverse()

# You can also use it to flip lines and area plots:
qplot(1:5, (1:5)^2, geom="area")
last_plot() + coord_flip()
