option to rotate the barplots 90 degrees

General Discussion

Is it possible to rotate the barplots 90 degrees? With many samples in an analysis, the plots become hard to work with

Hello Fenny,

Can you give me more details? Can you post one of the barplots and the code you used to make it?

@colinvwood how difficult do you think it would be to make this work in barplot2?

(I agree that horizontal scrollbars can be rough after a while, and if it was vertical (like rainclouds) it would be a little nicer to interact with hundreds of samples)

Agreed - this would be handy for barplot2.

I can take a look. Probably just a matter of switching svg attributes.

I used the following simple code:

qiime taxa barplot \
        --i-table $OUT/qiime2/$PREFIX.ASV.table.qza \
        --i-taxonomy $OUT/qiime2/$PREFIX.ASV.taxonomy.qza \
        --o-visualization $EXPORT_DIR/$PREFIX.ASV.taxonomy.barplot.qzv

This is part of an inherited bash script

Basically the view is the standard barplot view in view.qiime2.org

Hello @fenny,

Currently this is not possible in either barplot or barplot2. We are looking into whether it might be easy to make possible in barplot2.
