Re: Combine coord_fixed() and coord_flip()?

[Dennis Murphy]

You can only use one coord_*() function on a given ggplot since it
changes the coordinate system after everything else has been done. To
change the aspect ratio, you can use the corresponding argument in the
theming system:

... + coord_flip() + theme(aspect.ratio = 1)

Untested in the absence of a reproducible example. If this doesn't
work, please provide one.

Thank you Dennis, that does work.

The docs at http://docs.ggplot2.org/current/theme.html do not mention this at all.
