Horizontal boxplot

[iblislin]

Seems this is not supported yet.
And I found there is an option vert = false in PyPlot's boxplot.

Can you elaborate more on what you are asking for? What is the use case/desired output and how does that differ from the current setup?

Hi @logankilpatrick
I want something like this:

There is an attribute 'orientation'.
For example a barplot can be made horizontal
bar(["One","Two","Three"], [1,2,3], orientation=:h)

But when trying to do the same with a boxplot, it doesn't plot the boxplot:
boxplot(["One"], [1,2,3], orientation=:h)

The vertical one works just fine:
boxplot(["One"], [1,2,3], orientation=:v)

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

EDIT: seems to be a longer known bug
JuliaPlots/Plots.jl#1412

This is still an issue and affects horizontal stacked bar plots too.

Should be fixed by #499 if you use permute=(:x, :y).
