#' Dodge overlapping objects side-to-side
#'
#' Dodging preserves the vertical position of an geom while adjusting the
#' horizontal position. `position_dodge()` requires the grouping variable to be
#' be specified in the global or `geom_*` layer. Unlike `position_dodge()`,
#' `position_dodge2()` works without a grouping variable in a layer.
#' `position_dodge2()` works with bars and rectangles, but is
#' particularly useful for arranging box plots, which
#' can have variable widths.
#'
#' @param width Dodging width, when different to the width of the individual
#'   elements. This is useful when you want to align narrow geoms with wider
#'   geoms. See the examples.
#' @param preserve Should dodging preserve the `"total"` width of all elements
#'    at a position, or the width of a `"single"` element?
#' @family position adjustments

#' ggplot(mtcars, aes(factor(cyl), fill = factor(vs))) +
#'   geom_bar(position = "dodge2")
#'
#' # By default, dodging with `position_dodge2()` preserves the total width of
#' # the elements. You can choose to preserve the width of each element with:
#' ggplot(mtcars, aes(factor(cyl), fill = factor(vs))) +
#'   geom_bar(position = position_dodge2(preserve = "single"))
#'
#' \donttest{
#' ggplot(diamonds, aes(price, fill = cut)) +
#'   geom_histogram(position="dodge2")
#' # see ?geom_bar for more examples
#'
#' # In this case a frequency polygon is probably a better choice
#' ggplot(diamonds, aes(price, colour = cut)) +
#'   geom_freqpoly()
#' }

#' # Dodging with various widths -------------------------------------
#' # To dodge items with different widths, you need to be explicit

#'   x = c("a","a","b","b"),
#'   y = 2:5,

#'   geom_col(position = "dodge", fill = "grey50", colour = "black")
#' p
#'
#' # A line range has no width:
#' p + geom_linerange(aes(ymin = y - 1, ymax = y + 1), position = "dodge")
#'
#' # So you must explicitly specify the width
#' p + geom_linerange(
#'   aes(ymin = y - 1, ymax = y + 1),
#'   position = position_dodge(width = 0.9)
#' )
#'
#' # The same principle applies to error bars, which are usually
#' # narrower than the bars
#' p + geom_errorbar(
#'   aes(ymin = y - 1, ymax = y + 1),
#'   width = 0.2,

#'   width = 0.2,
