This PR aims to fix #5126 and fix #3459.
Briefly, it adds 9 new aesthetics to
geom_boxplot()
to set the colour, linewidth and linetype for whiskers, staples and median line.These all work by setting the default as
NULL
and then inheriting from the maincolour
,linewidth
orlinetype
if not set explicitly.I'm still unsure about some decisions, so that is why this PR is marked work in progress (WIP). Some considerations:
geom_crossbar()
to get them to work in the boxplot. Should we include these as aesthetics togeom_crossbar()
as well? If yes, ismedian_{aes}
appropriate, or ismiddle_{aes}
more appropriate?outlier.colour
)? If they should be fixed, the scale interaction point below becomes moot.scale_colour_hue(aesthetics = "median_colour")
is also a bit of pain for the user. In addition,scale_linewidth_*()
andscale_linetype_*()
scales don't expose theaesthetics
argument, so there isn't really a way to scale these.box_colour
,box_linewidth
andbox_linetype
