Description
This issue is a proposal to include a little bit more details on how the x
and width
pairs and y
and height
pairs of aesthetics interact. I've seen enough confusion on this topic that I think this warrants a little section in ?aes_position
.
Should basically point out:
x
andy
are point-based locationswidth
andheight
are length-based dimensions- location-based aesthetics have scales and respond to transformation
- length-based aesthetics do not have scales and are applied after transformation
- Give concrete example that
x = 10, width = 2
equates toxmin = 9, xmax = 11
under identity scales, but toxmin = 1, xmax = 100
under log10-scales.
