bar/hist plots, bottom on top or right axis

Community matplotlib-users

What I'm trying to accomplish is something like:

http://bm2.genes.nig.ac.jp/RGM2/R_current/library/plotrix/man/images/big_pyramid.plot_001.png

For that I was trying to use subplots where both draw in horizontal
orientation but one will be flipped or mirrored.

I couldn't find any parameter to do so. There is left for horizontal
plots but no right. The same goes for bottom, but no top.

Is there any way to achieve this?

Thanks,
Renato

Hi Renato,

I think you have to flip the x-axis of the left plot by for instance
ax1 = subplot(121, xlim=(1, 0))
and I think than hist(data, orientation='horizontal') or manually using
barh-plots works fine.

Kind regards,
Matthias

Hi Matthias,

Thanks for your tip, this solved the first problem.

But it seems the approach I was trying is not as flexible as I thought
it would be.

Right now I'm trying mpl_toolkits.axes_grid.axes_divider but I still
have a problem on locating the yaxis labels in a centered format.

Anyway this is a bit out of the scope of the initial thread.

Thanks again.
