Geometries with Dual Orientation

  • geom_linerange()
  • geom_pointrange()
  • geom_errorbar()
  • geom_crossbar()
  • geom_ribbon()

You can flip opientation of these geometries simply by flipping their positional aesthetics mapping.

Note: when flipping aesthetics, in certain cases, you will have to also change the position adjustment of the geometry.

For example, when flipping orientation from vertical to horizontal, position_dodge() \ should be replaced with position_dodgev() (i.e. "vertical dodge").

Flipping an Errorbar

In [4]:
errorbar_v = geom_errorbar(aes(x='dose', ymin='len_min', ymax='len_max'), position=position_dodge(0.95))
errorbar_h = geom_errorbar(aes(y='dose', xmin='len_min', xmax='len_max'), position=position_dodgev(0.95))

gggrid([
    ggplot(err_df, aes(color='supp')) + errorbar_v + ggtitle("Vertical"),
    ggplot(err_df, aes(color='supp')) + errorbar_h + ggtitle("Horizontal")
