#' Set scale limits
#'
#' This is a shortcut for supplying the `limits` argument to the individual
#' scales. By default, any values outside the limits specified are replaced with
#' `NA`. Be warned that this will remove data outside the limits and this can
#' produce unintended results. For changing x or y axis limits \strong{without}
#' dropping data observations, see [coord_cartesian()].
#'
#' @param ... For `xlim()` and `ylim()`: Two numeric values, specifying the left/lower
#'  limit and the right/upper limit of the scale. If the larger value is given first,
#'  the scale will be reversed. You can leave one value as `NA` if you want to compute
#'  the corresponding limit from the range of the data.
#'
#'  For `lims()`: A name--value pair. The name must be an aesthetic, and the value
#'  must be either a length-2 numeric, a character, a factor, or a date/time.
#'  A numeric value will create a continuous scale. If the larger value comes first,
#'  the scale will be reversed. You can leave one value as `NA` if you want
#'  to compute the corresponding limit from the range of the data.
#'  A character or factor value will create a discrete scale.
#'  A date-time value will create a continuous date/time scale.
#'
#' @seealso To expand the range of a plot to always include
#'   certain values, see [expand_limits()]. For other types of data, see
#'   [scale_x_discrete()], [scale_x_continuous()], [scale_x_date()].
