coord_flip

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

Flipped cartesian coordinates

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.

Parameters

Parameters control the appearance of the coord. In addition to the parameters listed below (if any), any aesthetic can be used as a parameter, in which case it will override any aesthetic mapping.

Returns

This function returns a coordinate system object.

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() 
  
>  
> qplot(carat, data=diamonds, geom="histogram") 
stat_bin: binwidth defaulted to range/30. Use 'binwidth = x' to adjust this.

  
> last_plot() + coord_flip() 
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="line") 
  
> last_plot() + coord_flip()
