rotating a plot using 'rotate' keyword?

Community matplotlib-users

Is there something for plot() that rotates the axes. I know I can
simply switch the variables like so: plot(x,y) and plot(y,x), but I
have a 1D array and I don't want to add a second array for the element
number. Is there a keyword like rotate=90 as there is for text? Thanks.

A pylab approach:

line2d = plot(rand(10))[0]

def swap(xdata, ydata):
line2d.set_xdata(ydata)
line2d.set_ydata(xdata)
draw()

swap(line2d.get_xdata(), line2d.get_ydata())

Thanks. Will that work for the WXAgg backend?

Nm, I misread you question. You can get the transform object and
possibly apply a rotation. (e.g. line2d.get_transform() from example).
I don't know how to manipulate this from the top of my head though.
