coord_flip(xlim = NULL, ylim = NULL, expand = TRUE)
TRUE
, the default, adds a small expansion factor to
the limits to ensure that data and axes don't overlap. If FALSE
,
limits are taken exactly from the data or xlim
/ylim
.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.
# Very useful for creating boxplots, and other interval # geoms in the horizontal instead of vertical position. ggplot(diamonds, aes(cut, price)) + geom_boxplot() + coord_flip()
h <- ggplot(diamonds, aes(carat)) + geom_histogram() h`stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value with `binwidth`.
h + coord_flip()`stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value with `binwidth`.
h + coord_flip() + scale_x_reverse()`stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value with `binwidth`.
# You can also use it to flip line and area plots: df <- data.frame(x = 1:5, y = (1:5) ^ 2) ggplot(df, aes(x, y)) + geom_area()
last_plot() + coord_flip()
