[R] Rotating a distribution plot by 90 degrees

[Benjamin Otto]

Hi,

Can I rotate a plot (e.g. a distribution plot) by 90 degrees? The barplot
function provides the "horiz" command but that's not availeable for the base
package functions. I found an old advice from Paul Murrell on a similar
problem suggesting to use viewports (grid package). Yet I couldn't reproduce
his examples successfully. And going through the examples in the current
grid package help pages left me with the feeling that viewport and the
plot/points function don't match because the latter automatically clears the
old device.

Is there some way to rotate a "plot" at all or am I forced to use the
barplot function instead?

Regards,

Benjamin


P.S.: For further explanation: I would like to plot something like

+-----+-----+
|     |     |
|  0  |  1  |
|     |     |
+-----+-----+
|     |     |
|  2  |  3  |
|     |     |
+-----+-----+

where image 1 is some function plot in normal mode, image 2 is a function
plot rotated by 90 degrees and image 3 is something depending on the two
functions.
