#' Dot plot
#'
#' In a dot plot, the width of a dot corresponds to the bin width
#' (or maximum width, depending on the binning algorithm), and dots are
#' stacked, with each dot representing one observation.
#'
#' There are two basic approaches: \emph{dot-density} and \emph{histodot}.
#' With dot-density binning, the bin positions are determined by the data and
#' `binwidth`, which is the maximum width of each bin. See Wilkinson
#' (1999) for details on the dot-density binning algorithm. With histodot
#' binning, the bins have fixed positions and fixed widths, much like a
#' histogram.
#'
#' When binning along the x axis and stacking along the y axis, the numbers on
#' y axis are not meaningful, due to technical limitations of ggplot2. You can
#' hide the y axis, as in one of the examples, or manually scale it
#' to match the number of dots.

#' @inheritParams layer
#' @inheritParams geom_point
#' @param stackdir which direction to stack the dots. "up" (default),
#'   "down", "center", "centerwhole" (centered, but with dots aligned)
#' @param stackratio how close to stack the dots. Default is 1, where dots
#'   just touch. Use smaller values for closer, overlapping dots.
#' @param dotsize The diameter of the dots relative to `binwidth`, default 1.
#' @param stackgroups should dots be stacked across groups? This has the effect
#'   that `position = "stack"` should have, but can't (because this geom has
#'   some odd properties).
#' @param binaxis The axis to bin along, "x" (default) or "y"
#' @param method "dotdensity" (default) for dot-density binning, or
#'   "histodot" for fixed bin widths (like stat_bin)
#' @param binwidth When `method` is "dotdensity", this specifies maximum bin
#'   width. When `method` is "histodot", this specifies bin width.
#'   Defaults to 1/30 of the range of the data
#' @param binpositions When `method` is "dotdensity", "bygroup" (default)
#'   determines positions of the bins for each group separately. "all" determines
#'   positions of the bins with all the data taken together; this is used for
#'   aligning dot stacks across multiple groups.
#' @param origin When `method` is "histodot", origin of first bin
#' @param right When `method` is "histodot", should intervals be closed
#'   on the right (a, b], or not [a, b)
#' @param width When `binaxis` is "y", the spacing of the dot stacks
#'   for dodging.
#' @param drop If TRUE, remove all bins with zero counts
