In SahaRahul/ggplot2: Create Elegant Data Visualisations Using the Grammar of Graphics

#' @section Positions:
#'
#' All `position_*` functions (like `position_dodge`) return a
#' `Position*` object (like `PositionDodge`). The `Position*`
#' object is responsible for adjusting the position of overlapping geoms.
#'
#' The way that the `position_*` functions work is slightly different from
#' the `geom_*` and `stat_*` functions, because a `position_*`
#' function actually "instantiates" the `Position*` object by creating a
#' descendant, and returns that.
#'
#' Each of the `Position*` objects is a [ggproto()] object,
#' descended from the top-level `Position`, and each implements the
#' following methods:
#'
#'   - `compute_layer(self, data, params, panel)` is called once
#'     per layer. `panel` is currently an internal data structure, so
#'     this method should not be overriden.
#'
#'   - `compute_panel(self, data, params, panel)` is called once per
#'     panel and should return a modified data frame.
#'
#'     `data` is a data frame containing the variables named according
#'     to the aesthetics that they're mapped to. `scales` is a list
#'     containing the `x` and `y` scales. There functions are called
#'     before the facets are trained, so they are global scales, not local
#'     to the individual panels. `params` contains the parameters returned by
#'     `setup_params()`.
#'   - `setup_params(data, params)`: called once for each layer.
#'      Used to setup defaults that need to complete dataset, and to inform
#'      the user of important choices. Should return list of parameters.
#'   - `setup_data(data, params)`: called once for each layer,
#'      after `setp_params()`. Should return modified `data`.
#'      Default checks that required aesthetics are present.
#'
#' And the following fields
#'   - `required_aes`: a character vector giving the aesthetics
#'      that must be present for this position adjustment to work.
