flip boxplot legend after coord_flip

[Dr. Hans Hansen]

Dear ggplot2-users,

i have a plot similar to this:

ggplot(data = NULL, aes(x = 1, y = rnorm(100), col = rnorm(100)<0)) + geom_boxplot() + coord_flip()

and i wonder, whether it is possible to flip the legend-boxplot-symbol as well by 90 degree?

Thanks a lot, Felix

Felix.

You could do the following:

ggplot(data = NULL, aes(x = 1, y = rnorm(100), col = rnorm(100)<0)) + geom_boxplot() + coord_flip()+theme(legend.position="bottom")

and you don't have to worry about the order.

David

Felix,

Another way is to control number of columns in legend:

 ggplot(data = NULL, aes(x = 1, y = rnorm(100), col = rnorm(100)>0)) + geom_boxplot() + coord_flip()+guides(col = guide_legend(nrow = 1, byrow = TRUE))

Thanks for your input, but you get me wrong, unfortunately. i want to flip the little boxplot symbols within the legend.box in a way, that the whiskers point to the left/right instead of top/bottom. :D

[David Guy]

Got it. But no immediate solution comes to mind.

Sorry,

David
