[R] How to rotate only one panel by 90 degrees in R plot?

[Bert Gunter]

I don't know the gridGraphics package, and I haven't looked closely at what
you are trying to do. But note that lattice functions construct grid
"grobs" that can be saved and plotted in arbitrary, including rotated,
viewports, using the print.trellis function. I frankly am pretty ignorant
about such things, but this simple little example might give you some
notion of how to proceed. You may also be able to do what you want with
grid.layout() and pushing a suitably rotated viewport onto a layout. Others
would have to advise on such details, if so.

If I'm wrong and this is useless, just ignore without comment.



dp <- densityplot(~y, main = "",
                  xlab = "", ylab = "")
grid.newpage()
pushViewport(
   viewport(width = unit(.5,"npc"),
            height = unit(.3,"npc"),
            angle = 270))
print(dp, newp = FALSE,  ## this is the print.trellis method
      panel.width = list(1,"npc"),
      panel.height = list(1, "npc")
)
