How to deal with plotting functions where positional args are not necessarily x and y about algebraofgraphics.jl HOT 4 OPEN

I think somehow there should be a trait on recipes that tells you the orientation. Alternatively, this could be done upstream, and AbstractPlotting could support working with named arrays (AoG uses NamedDims) and take care of the automatic axis labeling. It's already a concrete problem, for example in QQNorm one already gets the label on the wrong axis.

Just ran into a case where I'd like to be able to do this. I'm interested helping to move this forward.

Can you elaborate on this point a bit? As I understand it, this is already true. E.g. one can simply check that :orientation in propertynames(plot) && plot.orentation == :horizontal, since this is the keyword all existing Makie recipes use to indicate a flipped axis.

I'm pretty sure not all but that's something we wanted to clean up as well

Ah, got it. Well, a simple fix for the time being would simply be to define the check I proposed in a method and allow the exceptions to define a specialized method. Right?
