About this notebook

This notebook follows the examples on ggplot2's reference page for scale_x_binned(), which covers scale_y_binned() too, in the order the page gives them. Each example shows ggplot2's code first and then Giggly's. An example Giggly cannot draw yet keeps its ggplot2 code and names what it is waiting for, so the page is also a list of what remains.

scale_x_binned() and scale_y_binned() cut a continuous position into bins, so that a geom needing discrete positions can use it: with geom_bar(), a binned x scale draws a histogram. Giggly has neither yet: it has no binned scales, and a position scale is continuous, discrete or a date one.
