plot, spineplot, boxplot in R 2.2.0
I agree that I was mixing up the two issues.

Dear Gabor, This behaviour makes sense to me, since in the first case the response is quantitative and the explanatory variable a factor (hence, parallel boxplots), while in the second it's vice-versa (hence parallel stacked bars). That is, the primary distinction, I think, isn't the orientation of the axes but the nature of the variables.

These produce a boxplot in the first case and a spineplot in the second case in R .2.2.0: plot(Sepal.Length ~ Species, iris) plot(Species ~ Sepal.Length, iris) What if one wants to exchange axes? Does the fact that this seemingly innocuous change result in completely different graphics make sense? Is it desirable?
