Dear R-community, In graphical representations of findings concerning bodies of standing water (lakes e.g.) in x-y-plots you often make use of a somewhat different definition of coordinates in a cartesian system: the origin is top-left, the x-axis (depth of the water body) from top to bottom and the f(x)-axis from left to right, so you can project the graphical representation of data in your imagination into the lake.
I wasn't able to find out if this is possible in R-plots of x-y-data. I can treat the values, which are the x-values as y-values and vice versa. In simple plots that gives what I want (with the direction of the vertical axis from top to down with e.g. ylim = c(60,0). But I am not content with this. y is f(x) and not the other way round! I think, when I start with error bars or similar, I will get in trouble. Therefore my simple question: can I define a coordinate system with (0,0) in the upper left and the x- and y-axis as I described? Thanks for your answers - Richard -- Richard Müller . Am Spring 9 .
