facet_matrix() does not respect scale_y_continuous(position = "right")

[seasmith]

Swapping the axis and strip text does not seem possible. Could a position.y.axis argument be added to achieve this?

library(ggplot2)
library(ggforce)

ggplot(iris, aes(.panel_x, .panel_y)) +
  geom_point() +
  geom_autodensity() +
  scale_y_continuous(position = "right") +
  facet_matrix(vars(Sepal.Length:Petal.Length),
               layer.diag = 2, switch = "y")

deleted prior post because I misread the issue

yes, it is true that any settings applied with scale_x_* or scale_y_* are ignored as per the note in the docs:

Due to the special nature of this faceting it slightly breaks the ggplot2 API, in that any positional scale settings are ignored. This is because each row and column in the grid will potentially have very different scale types and it is not currently possible to have multiple different scale specifications in the same plot object.

I hope to figure out a fix for this in the future
