Description

Flipped cartesian coordinates

Usage

coord_flip(xlim=NULL, ylim=NULL, ...)

ylim NULL
... ignored

Details

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

This page describes coord_flip, see layer and qplot for how to create a complete plot from individual components.

Examples

## Not run: 
# 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()

qplot(carat, data=diamonds, geom="histogram")
last_plot() + coord_flip()

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