Support transposing layouts? #909
Comments
Seems related to #130. |
@basnijholt Thanks for linking to issue #130! For Certainly a worthwhile comparison to make and something we will want to document better. |
The layout is essentially just an ordered list, and thus doesn't have any inherent dimensions to transpose directly. It's only when it's laid out for display that it gets put into a row, column format. So in the code above I'm reordering this list so that the eventual result is in column order, but really this needs to be something that the layout engine decides as it puts into a columnar shape. |

Right now, layouts are filled with plots in row order, i.e. left to right and then top to bottom:
Sometimes it makes much more sense to order the plots in column order, i.e. top to bottom and then left to right, as in this case, to align related plots. It is possible to reorder the plots in the layout manually:
This works, but it's awkward, and if subfigure labels weren't suppressed here they would still be in row order, which would be confusing. So it would be great if there were a plot option to transpose the layout after it has been assigned subfigure labels.
