title: Using pairs() or ggpairs() from ggally for pairwise plotting of scatter plots, how to start horizontal axis from 1:n-1 while the vertical 2:n?
body: <p>I'm trying to visualize all possible pairwise combinations of scatter plots using ggpairs() or pairs(). However, for aesthetics, I'm trying to start one of the axes with the 2nd column instead of the 1st to avoid having the tile in which it's the same column for x and y. Using ggally's say that I want samples 1, 2, 3, 4 on the horizontal axis; while I want samples 2, 3, 4, 5 on the vertical axis. How will I go about this?</p>
  <p>Code used for this visualization:</p>
  <pre><code># visualize w/ ggpairs thats' from ggally
    proteinAbundance %&gt;%
      # now, let's only select samples that we're interested in
      select(sampleNamesInput) %&gt;%
      # filter out rows that have even just one ZERO abundance value
      filter_if(., is.numeric, all_vars(.!=0)) %&gt;%
      # transform here b/c cannot do it w/in ggpairs()
      mutate_at(1:length(.), log10) %&gt;%
      ggpairs(diag='blank', upper='blank', switch = c('x','y')) %&gt;%
      print()
  </code></pre>
  <p>Thank you in advance!!!!!</p>
