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...

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.

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. -- Benjamin Otto Universitaetsklinikum Eppendorf Hamburg Institut fuer Klinische Chemie Martinistrasse 52 20246 Hamburg ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
