FLIPXYVIEW (v2.0, mar 2010)

flips (mirror rotates) the horizontal and vertical plot axes

FLIPXYVIEW sets the view of the current 2D axes in such a way that the x and y axis interchange positions. The current horizontal axis will become the vertical axis, and vice versa.

FLIPXYVIEW (AX) rotates the axes specified by the handle AX.

Note that this function only changes the view and not the x and y values of the plotted points. Applying this function twice will undo the flip.

Example 1: See screenshot

Example 2: Create a errorbar plot, with horizontal error bars

y = 1:5 ; x = polyval([2 3 4],y) ;
xerr = 5*rand(size(x)) ; % Errors in X
subplot(2,2,3) ; errorbar(y,x,xerr,'bo') ;
xlabel('Y') ; ylabel('X') ; % !! note the names
