Hi all,  
I want to know how to achieve plotting as shown below:

 ![the goal](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/d/b/db2002577a3591e887a3bb3d19c7531d1df393dd.jpeg)  
currently, I could only achieved plotting as shown below using the following code:  
 ![current](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/a/8/a8dc647c9751a764e3e088b5af7f41fece4586ab.jpeg)

```julia
using AlgebraOfGraphics
using Distributions
using DataFrames
using CairoMakie

dx = Normal(20,1)
dy = Normal(25,1)
x = rand(dx, 50)
y = rand(dy, 50)

dn2 = DataFrame(x = x, y = y)

p1 = data(dn2) * mapping([:x, :y] .=> "variables") *
    AlgebraOfGraphics.density() * 
    mapping(color = dims(1) => renamer(["x", "y"]))
draw(p1,axis = (width = 200, height = 200))

```

You can see that I need to first rotate the axis and then combine multiple figures, and I want to know if it is currently available using CairoMakie and AlgebraOfGraphics. Thanks in advance for help!

After this upcoming refactor [Explicit aesthetics / scales by jkrumbiegel · Pull Request #505 · MakieOrg/AlgebraOfGraphics.jl · GitHub](https://github.com/MakieOrg/AlgebraOfGraphics.jl/pull/505) this code will work, currently the flipped histogram is not really supported with correct axis labels:

```julia
let 
    group = rand(1:8, 1000)
    x = randn.() .+ group
    df = (; x, group)
    spec = data(df) *
        mapping(:x, col = :group => nonnumeric) *
        AoG.histogram(bins = 80) *
        visual(direction = :x)
    with_theme(theme_minimal()) do
        draw(spec)
    end
end

```

But I have a [question](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/questions-on-hist-makie/116347) on it.
