ggplot2 y limits in barchart when + coord_flip() is used

[Daniel Murrell]

Hi

I have the following problem... I want to limit the value range and it
works under normal circumstances but doesn't work after a +
coord_flip()

d <- data.frame(name = c("three","four","five"), value = c(3,4,5))
p <- ggplot(d, aes(factor(name), y=value))
p + geom_bar() + coord_cartesian(ylim=c(1,4)) + xlab("name")

# this doesn't work for me
p + geom_bar() + coord_cartesian(ylim=c(1,4)) + xlab("name") +
coord_flip()

How do I limit the y range of the graph after a +coord_flip()?

Thank you
Daniel

coord_cartesian and coord_flip are actually the same sort of thing, so in your example, you've replaced the coord_flip with coord_cartesian. This should work:

d <- data.frame(name = c("three","four","five"), value = c(3,4,5))

p <- ggplot(d, aes(factor(name), y=value))

p + geom_bar() + coord_flip(ylim=c(1,4)) + xlab("name")

Hi Winston

Thanks! That works. So I must have been overriding the coord_cartesian
with the coord_flip with no parameters.

I guess I need a mapping of things that are 'the same sort of thing'
to other things to overcome problems like this in future :D

Cheers
Daniel
