Add Glyph Boxes layer to glyph plot

Description

This function introduces a custom layer to a ggplot, employing 'glyph boxes' to visually represent individual glyph. Users can specify various aesthetics including alpha, height, width, color, line type, and fill to customize the appearance.

Usage

add_glyph_boxes(
  mapping = NULL,
  data = NULL,
  stat = "identity",
  position = "identity",
  x_major = NULL,
  y_major = NULL,
  height = "default",
  width = "default",
  fill = "white",
  linewidth = 0.1,
  inherit.aes = TRUE,
  show.legend = NA,
  ...
)

Arguments

mapping	Set of aesthetic mappings created by aes(). If specified and inherit.aes = TRUE (the default), it is combined with the default mapping at the top level of the plot. You must supply mapping if there is no plot mapping.
data	The data to be displayed in this layer. If NULL, the default, the data is inherited from the plot data as specified in the call to ggplot().
stat	The statistical transformation to use on the data for this layer. When using a ⁠geom_*()⁠ function to construct a layer, the stat argument can be used the override the default coupling between geoms and stats. The stat argument accepts the following: A Stat ggproto subclass, for example StatCount. A string naming the stat. To give the stat as a string, strip the function name of the stat_ prefix. For example, to use stat_count(), give the stat as "count". For more information and other ways to specify the stat, see the layer stat documentation.
position	A position adjustment to use on the data for this layer. This can be used in various ways, including to prevent overplotting and improving the display. The position argument accepts the following: The result of calling a position function, such as position_jitter(). This method allows for passing extra arguments to the position. A string naming the position adjustment. To give the position as a string, strip the function name of the position_ prefix. For example, to use position_jitter(), give the position as "jitter". For more information and other ways to specify the position, see the layer position documentation.
x_major, y_major	Aesthetics to map plot coordinates for major and minor glyph components.
height	The height of each glyph. The 'default' is calculated using the ratio (1:1.618) relative to the 'width', to maintain a consistent aspect ratio.
width	The width of each glyph. The 'default' is set to the smallest distance between two consecutive coordinates, converted from meters to degrees of latitude using the Haversine method.
fill	The color used to fill the glyph box.
linewidth	The thickness of the glyph box.
inherit.aes	If FALSE, overrides the default aesthetics, rather than combining with them. This is most useful for helper functions that define both data and aesthetics and shouldn't inherit behaviour from the default plot specification, e.g. borders().
show.legend	logical. Should this layer be included in the legends? NA, the default, includes if any aesthetics are mapped. FALSE never includes, and TRUE always includes. It can also be a named logical vector to finely select the aesthetics to display.
...	Additional arguments passed on to function.

Value

A layer object that can be added to a ggplot.
