Matplotlib 2D plot vertical x-axis

Question

I was wondering if there is a quick way to have, in a 2D plot, the x-axis oriented vertically, from top to bottom. I am looking for the Matlab equivalent of

 set(gca,'view',[90,90])

if any.

The only solution I found is How can I rotate a matplotlib plot through 90 degrees? but I cannot make in work because I have several plots on the figure

Answer 1

One way you could accomplish this is just to swap the X, Y values you pass to the function. For example, if you have lists of X values and Y values (the points are (X[i], Y[i]), you could just do:

scatter(Y,X)

instead of

scatter(X,Y)
