#' Automatic dotplot + point + interval meta-geom
#'
#' This meta-geom supports drawing combinations of dotplots, points, and intervals.
#' Geoms and stats based on [geom_dotsinterval()] create dotplots that automatically determine a bin width that
#' ensures the plot fits within the available space. They also ensure dots do not overlap, and allow
#' the generation of quantile dotplots using the `quantiles` argument to [stat_dotsinterval()]/[stat_dots()].
#' Generally follows the naming scheme and
#' arguments of the [geom_slabinterval()] and [stat_slabinterval()] family of
#' geoms and stats.

          size of the plot when drawn. This will pick a `binwidth` such that the
          tallest stack of dots is at most `scale` in height (ideally exactly `scale`
          in height, though this is not guaranteed).
        - A length-1 (scalar) numeric or [unit] object giving the exact bin width.
        - A length-2 (vector) numeric or [unit] object giving the minimum and maximum
          desired bin width. The bin width will be dynamically selected within
          these bounds.

      If the value is numeric, it is assumed to be in units of data. The bin width
      (or its bounds) can also be specified using [unit()], which may be useful if
      it is desired that the dots be a certain point size or a certain percentage of
      the width/height of the viewport. For example, `unit(0.1, "npc")` would make
      dots that are *exactly* 10% of the viewport size along whichever dimension the
      dotplot is drawn; `unit(c(0, 0.1), "npc")` would make dots that are *at most*
      10% of the viewport size (while still ensuring the tallest stack is less than
      or equal to `scale`).

      `1.07`, makes dots be just a bit wider than the bin width, which is a

      shape, preventing gaps between bins from appearing to be too large visually
      (as might arise from dots being *precisely* the `binwidth`). If it is desired
      to have dots be precisely the `binwidth`, set `dotsize = 1`.

          `smooth_unbounded()`, smooth_discrete()`, or `smooth_bar()`.

          name starting with `smooth_`; e.g. `"none"` (the default) applies

          applying smoothing.

        - `"warn"`: Keep the overflow, but produce a warning suggesting solutions,
          such as setting `binwidth = NA` or `overflow = "compress"`.
        - `"compress"`: Compress the layout. Reduces the `binwidth` to the size necessary
          to keep the dots within bounds, then adjusts `stackratio` and `dotsize` so that
          the apparent dot size is the user-specified minimum `binwidth` times the
          user-specified `dotsize`.

      If you find the default layout has dots that are too small, and you are okay

      an exact or minimum dot size using `binwidth`.

      for the dots: \\itemize{

          alignment of rows and columns in the dotplot. This layout is slightly
          different from the classic Wilkinson algorithm in that: (1) it nudges
          bins slightly to avoid overlapping bins and (2) if the input data are
          symmetrical it will return a symmetrical layout.
        \\item `"weave"`: uses the same basic binning approach of `"bin"`, but
          places dots in the off-axis at their actual positions (unless
          `overlaps = "nudge"`, in which case overlaps may be nudged out of the
          way). This maintains the alignment of rows but does not align dots
          within columns.
        \\item `"hex"`: uses the same basic binning approach of `"bin"`, but
          alternates placing dots `+ binwidth/4` or `- binwidth/4` in the
          off-axis from the bin center. This allows hexagonal packing by setting
          a `stackratio` less than 1 (something like `0.9` tends to work).
        \\item `"swarm"`: uses the `"compactswarm"` layout from
          [beeswarm::beeswarm()]. Does not maintain alignment of rows or columns,
          but can be more compact and neat looking, especially for sample data
          (as opposed to quantile dotplots of theoretical distributions, which
          may look better with `"bin"`, `"weave"`, or `"hex"`).

          using a constrained optimization which minimizes the squared distance of

          dots do not overlap.

      if you want to start from an automatically-selected bin width and then adjust it

      coordinates or `"npc"`s (see [unit()]). Note that if you just want to scale the
      selected bin width to fit within a desired area, it is probably easier to use
      `scale` than to copy and scale `binwidth` manually, and if you just want to
      provide constraints on the bin width, you can pass a length-2 vector to `binwidth`.
