Hi, I do not know if I can do org-plot on rows instead of columns. But today after I finished a table, I found I have to transpose the table by hand so that I can plot it as I want. Here is original table: | x | y | x | y | ... | |-----+----+----+----+-----| | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | | | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | | | 9 | 0 | 1 | 2 | | | ... | | | | | And I have to convert it into: | x | y | x | y | x | y | ... | |-----+---+---+---+---+---+-----| | 1 | 2 | 5 | 6 | 9 | 0 | | | 3 | 4 | 7 | 8 | 1 | 2 | | | ... | | | | | | | so that every two columns stand for a line. I also wonder how do you guys draw multiple lines in one image, since here there are multiple inds.

If someone had trouble to understand like me first, maybe looking also at the last table below with the column groups `<>' could help. This use case seems quite funny and well suited to be solved with the `field coordinates in formulas' for which I proposed a patch some time ago that is included in org-mode now. Since org-version 6.35 you could try this hack: step 1) Remove the header and use column editing from Emacs http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Rectangles.html to change your original version of the table | x | y | x | y | |---+---+---+---| | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | | 9 | 0 | 1 | 2 | to this 3x2 table with Calc vectors in short notation: #+TBLNAME: FOO | [1 2] | [3 4] | | [5 6] | [7 8] | | [9 0] | [1 2] | step 2) Transpose the table like described here http://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.php in the section `Transpose a table', currently with this numbering http://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.php#sec-17.2.3 to this 2x3 table with the same Calc vectors in the default notation: | [1, 2] | [5, 6] | [9, 0] | | [3, 4] | [7, 8] | [1, 2] | #+TBLFM: $1 = remote(FOO, @$#$@#) :: $2 = remote(FOO, @$#$@#) :: $3 = remote(FOO, @$#$@#) step 3) query-replace `['->`', `]'->`', `,'->`|' and add the header manually to get finally this: | | x | f.a(x) | x | f.b(x) | x | f.c(x) | | / | < | > | < | > | < | > | |---+---+--------+---+--------+---+--------| | | 1 | 2 | 5 | 6 | 9 | 0 | | | 3 | 4 | 7 | 8 | 1 | 2 | > I also wonder how do you guys draw multiple lines in one image, since > here there are multiple inds. I guess you want a xy graph something like this with three lines a, b and c for f.a, f.b and f.c: f.n(x) ^ 08 | b 07 | b 06 | b 05 | 04 | a 03 | a 02 |*c 01 | ccccc 00 +-------cc--> x 000000000011 012345678901 see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/21979 I assume that this could be done also with org-babel together with R http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_%28programming_language%29 possibly even with your original version of the table... - Michael

Aloha all,
There is also this code for transposing a table in the Library of Babel:
--------
* Table/Matrix manipulation
Elegant lisp code for transposing a matrix.
#+tblname: transpose-example
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 4 | 5 | 6 |
#+srcname: transpose
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var table=transpose-example
(apply #'mapcar* #'list table)
#+end_src
#+resname:
| 1 | 4 |
| 2 | 5 |
| 3 | 6 |
----------
All the best,
Tom
