Apply two transformations on one axis

Question

I have found coord_trans, but I\'d like to apply log10 and reverse to my x-axis. I tried applying two transformation

ggplo         


        

Answer 1

A quick and easy way is to apply one of the transformations directly to the data and use the other with the plot function.

e.g.

ggplot(iris, aes(log10(Sepal.Length), log10(Sepal.Width), colour = Species)) + 
geom_point() + coord_trans(x="reverse", y="reverse")

Note: the reverse transformation does not work with the iris data but you get the idea.
