In GeoGebra, can you plot the abscissa (xAxis) vertically and the ordinate (yAxis) horizontally?

I need this, since I like to visualise an inverse. Since I also like to visualise an Area between different values, I need an IntegralBetween for an interval on y's (so re-interpreting x as y does not work). In addition the function is very tall, so I like to have the layout rotated by 90 degrees.

In GeoGebra's 2D view x always refers to the horizontal and y to the vertical axes. You can however shade the area between two functions in y using inequalities with zero line thickness

    It would be OK to have x refer to horizontal and y to vertical, if I could write functions as x = f(y). So the question is: is the independent always horizontal and the dependent always vertical? - I assume your answer is that this is the case. - Your hint to inequalities looks helpful. I will check it out. – Christian Fries Jul 05 '20 at 21:36

    yes, dependent is always vertical. GeoGebra also supports implicit curves (so x=sin(y) is a valid syntax), but those are not quite the same as functions, e.g. you can't use them as argument for Integral. Another thing you can do is reflect a function about the line x=y. – Zbynek Jul 28 '20 at 13:30
