Flipped cartesian coordinates.

Usage

coord_flip(...)

Arguments

...
Other arguments passed onto coord_cartesian

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.

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
stat_bin: binwidth defaulted to range/30. Use 'binwidth = x' to adjust this.

h + coord_flip()
stat_bin: binwidth defaulted to range/30. Use 'binwidth = x' to adjust this.

h + coord_flip() + scale_x_reverse()
stat_bin: binwidth defaulted to range/30. Use 'binwidth = x' to adjust this.

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

last_plot() + coord_flip()
