Feature request: Horizontal forest plot? #1610

Open ricardoV94 opened 3 years ago

ricardoV94 commented 3 years ago

My forest plots tend to run very long.

It would be great (personally) to have the option to draw the forest plot extending horizontally instead of vertically.

Hi, I'm a first-time contributor, can I be assigned this issue?

Hi @Tsai-Ni ! Welcome to ArviZ!

I will assign this issue to you. Let us know if you need any help with this. We are here to help.

I personally have a love/hate relation with forestplot and I don't really know how complicated it will be. The times I have worked on it I did a very bad job at predicting how much time it would take me to get the job done; things I expected to be easy became complicated and took longer whereas things I expected to be complicated ended up being edits to a handful of lines only. In this particular case I am more inclined to think it will be more complicated than it sounds, so I'm not sure I'd recommend this as a first time contribution, but you should definitely see for yourself. The probability of me being wrong on this is quite high.

Hi @OriolAbril,

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to see whether this would be doable for a beginner, as well as all your help on the other issue I worked on. However, I do not believe I will have time to work on this issue anymore. Thank you for your understanding!
