e_flip_coords doesn't flip correctly if x-axis is non-categorical

[sactyr]

I understand x_axis should always be categorical but perhaps we could put in class check i.e. is.character or is.factor in e_flip_coords to force an error, instead of silently generating an incorrect chart? Thank you for this great package!

With non-categorical x-axis

df <- data.frame(
  x = 1:12 # e.g. typically for months in integer
  ,y = runif(12)
)

df %>%
  e_charts(x) %>%
  e_bar(y) %>% 
  e_flip_coords()

With x-axis turned into factor

df <- data.frame(
  x = as.factor(1:12)
  ,y = runif(12)
)

df %>%
  e_charts(x) %>%
  e_bar(y) %>% 
  e_flip_coords()

mhhh this is much more complex that I thought because it has to work for different types of graphs, with x and y as integers, etc..

I should not have created coord_flip

With echarts.js you should just be able to

df <- data.frame(
  x = 1:12 # e.g. typically for months in integer
  ,y = runif(12)
)

df %>%
  e_charts(y) %>%
  e_bar(x)
