Re: [O] plotting a transposed table

2014-03-18 Thread Thomas S. Dye
Aloha hubert,

Could you use the transpose function in the Library of Babel?

#+name: transpose-example
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 4 | 5 | 6 |

#+name: transpose
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var table=transpose-example
  (apply #'mapcar* #'list table)
#+end_src

#+results: transpose
| 1 | 4 |
| 2 | 5 |
| 3 | 6 |

All the best,
Tom

 I have a table where the data runs left-to-right instead of
 top-to-bottom.  For example:

   | year  | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 |
   | value |1 |2 |3 |4 |5 |

 Gnuplot expects the data to be top-to-bottom, but I want to keep the
 table in that format.  I know that I could write an external script
 create a transposed copy of the table, but I was wondering if there was
 an easier way to plot the data.

Thanks.  That works, except that hlines in the table confuse it, so I
modified it as below (using --filter from dash.el).

#+name: transpose
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var table=plans
  (apply #'mapcar* #'list (--filter (not (eq 'hline it)) table))
#+end_src

A solution that doesn't require an intermediate table would be ideal,
but this is usable.
