#' Polygons
#'
#' Polygons are very similar to paths (as drawn by [geom_path()])
#' except that the start and end points are connected and the inside is
#' coloured by `fill`. The `group` aesthetic determines which cases
#' are connected together into a polygon. From R 3.6 and onwards it is possible
#' to draw polygons with holes by providing a subgroup aesthetic that
#' differentiates the outer ring points from those describing holes in the
#' polygon.
#'
#' @eval rd_aesthetics("geom", "polygon")
#' @seealso
#'  [geom_path()] for an unfilled polygon,
#'  [geom_ribbon()] for a polygon anchored on the x-axis
#' @export
#' @inheritParams layer
#' @inheritParams geom_point
#' @param rule Either `"evenodd"` or `"winding"`. If polygons with holes are
#' being drawn (using the `subgroup` aesthetic) this argument defines how the
#' hole coordinates are interpreted. See the examples in [grid::pathGrob()] for
#' an explanation.
#' @examples
#' # When using geom_polygon, you will typically need two data frames:
#' # one contains the coordinates of each polygon (positions),  and the
#' # other the values associated with each polygon (values).  An id
#' # variable links the two together
#'
#' ids <- factor(c("1.1", "2.1", "1.2", "2.2", "1.3", "2.3"))
#'
#' values <- data.frame(
#'   id = ids,
#'   value = c(3, 3.1, 3.1, 3.2, 3.15, 3.5)
#' )
#'
#' positions <- data.frame(
#'   id = rep(ids, each = 4),
#'   x = c(2, 1, 1.1, 2.2, 1, 0, 0.3, 1.1, 2.2, 1.1, 1.2, 2.5, 1.1, 0.3,
#'   0.5, 1.2, 2.5, 1.2, 1.3, 2.7, 1.2, 0.5, 0.6, 1.3),
#'   y = c(-0.5, 0, 1, 0.5, 0, 0.5, 1.5, 1, 0.5, 1, 2.1, 1.7, 1, 1.5,
#'   2.2, 2.1, 1.7, 2.1, 3.2, 2.8, 2.1, 2.2, 3.3, 3.2)
#' )
#'
#' # Currently we need to manually merge the two together
#' datapoly <- merge(values, positions, by = c("id"))
#'
#' p <- ggplot(datapoly, aes(x = x, y = y)) +
#'   geom_polygon(aes(fill = value, group = id))
#' p
#'
#' # Which seems like a lot of work, but then it's easy to add on
#' # other features in this coordinate system, e.g.:
#'
#' set.seed(1)
#' stream <- data.frame(
#'   x = cumsum(runif(50, max = 0.1)),
#'   y = cumsum(runif(50,max = 0.1))
#' )
#'
#' p + geom_line(data = stream, colour = "grey30", linewidth = 5)
#'
#' # And if the positions are in longitude and latitude, you can use
#' # coord_map to produce different map projections.
