coord_flip(...)
coord_cartesianFlipped 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.
# 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") hstat_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()
