#' Scales for shapes, aka glyphs
#'
#' `scale_shape()` maps discrete variables to six easily discernible shapes.
#' If you have more than six levels, you will get a warning message, and the
#' seventh and subsequent levels will not appear on the plot. Use
#' [scale_shape_manual()] to supply your own values. You can not map
#' a continuous variable to shape unless `scale_shape_binned()` is used. Still,
#' as shape has no inherent order, this use is not advised.
#'
#' @param solid Should the shapes be solid, `TRUE`, or hollow,
#'   `FALSE`?
