functionality missing from ggplot2? about ggstance

[lionel-]

@thomasp85 Can you chime in here please?

[thomasp85]

these are just oversight - can you provide an example of using position_dodge that doesn't work as expected with flipped orientation?

[bbolker]

OK,I was wrong about the first - position_dodge does seem to work (although it would be good to have a documentation patch: "Dodging preserves the vertical position of an geom while adjusting the horizontal position" is now an incomplete description of what position_dodge does ...)

However, the orientation of segments in the legends is still an issue (see also here and here)

thanks

library(ggplot2)
dd <- data.frame(x=1:4,y=rep(1:2,each=2),
                 xlo=(1:4)-0.5,
                 xhi=(1:4)+0.5,
                 f=factor(rep(letters[1:2],2))
                 )
ggplot(dd,aes(x,y,colour=f)) +
    geom_pointrange(aes(xmin=xlo,xmax=xhi),
                    position=position_dodge(0.1))

library(ggstance)
ggplot(dd,aes(x,y,colour=f)) +
    geom_pointrangeh(aes(xmin=xlo,xmax=xhi),
                    position=position_dodgev(0.1))

I don't know if you do or don't want "bumps" (if not, I apologize) but I've just encountered this issue again ... this could possibly be fixed/worked around by adding a new key_glyph option ?

ggstance is no longer under development so this issue would belong in ggplot2. Unfortunately I can't transfer issues to another organisation. Could you reopen in tidyverse/ggplot2 please?
