[R] Way to rotate a histogram?

[Mike Lawrence]

Using ggplot2:

library(ggplot2)
test_data<-rnorm(100)
a=data.frame(obs=test_data,condition='None')
p1=qplot(
	data=a
	,x=obs
	,geom='histogram'
	)+coord_flip()
p2=qplot(
	data=a
	,y=obs
	,x=condition
	,geom='boxplot'
	)+opts(
		axis.text.y=theme_blank()
		,axis.title.y=theme_blank()
	)+coord_flip()
p3=qplot(
	sample=test_data
	,stat='qq'
	,distribution=qnorm
	)+coord_flip()

print(p1,vp=viewport(width=1,height=1/3,x=.5,y=1/3*.5))
print(p2,vp=viewport(width=1,height=1/3,x=.5,y=1/3+1/3*.5))
print(p3,vp=viewport(width=1,height=1/3,x=.5,y=2/3+1/3*.5))
