[R] Rotating a distribution plot by 90 degrees

[Benjamin Otto]

I forgot one thing:

Gregs example results in what I seek. However he has roteted the data in his
"mind" and in the data submitted to the plot command. What I would like to
know is whether I can use the "plot" command to make some normal plot and
add some second command which rotates the data for me...

Regards

Benjamin

Hi Knut, hi Greg,

Thanks for the quick help!

@Greg:
Yes THAT’S exactly what I meant. Thanks for the example.

@Knut:
Thanks for the hint. However my problem was that the combination of "plot"
and grid wasn't working. But probably it isn't supposed to.

Regards
Benjamin

Does the following code do what you want?

x <- c( rnorm(50,10,2), rnorm(30,20,2) ) y <- 2+3*x + rnorm(80)

d.x <- density(x)
d.y <- density(y)

layout( matrix( c(0,2,2,1,3,3,1,3,3),ncol=3) )

plot(d.x$x, d.x$y, xlim=range(x), type='l') plot(d.y$y, d.y$x,
ylim=range(y), xlim=rev(range(d.y$y)), type='l') plot(x,y, xlim=range(x),
ylim=range(y) )

If not, be more specific in describing what you want.

Hope this helps,

Subject: [R] Rotating a distribution plot by 90 degrees

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.
