Blame René Descartes for making the positive y-axis point up. Writing systems are pretty much universally top to bottom, as far as I know. > I know the hard way to correct this, but auto.key is nice because > it's print-time settings dynamic. Any easy workaround? None I can think of, except circumventing Descartes with an additional ylim = c(130, -5) I was thinking of adding an option to panel.barchart, but a more general solution would be options to flip the order in draw.key. I'll see if that's doable.
