[R] Way to rotate a histogram?

[Jason Rupert]

Here is what I have so far:
> test_data<-rnorm(100)
> par(mfrow=c(1,3)) # 3 rows by 1 columns layout of plots
> hist(test_data)
> boxplot(test_data)
> qqnorm(test_data)

I noticed that I can rotate a boxplot via "horizontal", but apparently "hist" does not have that functionality.

I tried stacking the plots vertically:
test_data<-rnorm(100)
par(mfrow=c(3,1)) # 3 rows by 1 columns layout of plots
hist(test_data)
boxplot(test_data, horizontal=TRUE)
qqnorm(test_data)

However, I would have to rotate the QQnorm plot, which would be pretty confusing and I think non-standard.   

Thank you again for any feedback and insight regarding trying to reproduce the JMP figure shown at:
