#' Plot QQ plot
#'
#' Plot quantile-quantile for each continuous feature
#' @param data input data
#' @param by feature name to be broken down by. If selecting a continuous feature, it will be grouped by 5 equal ranges, otherwise, all existing categories for a discrete feature. Default is \code{NULL}.
#' @param sampled_rows number of rows to sample if data has too many rows. Default is all rows, which means do not sample.
#' @param geom_qq_args a list of other arguments to \link{geom_qq}
#' @param geom_qq_line_args a list of other arguments to \link{geom_qq_line}
#' @param title plot title
#' @param ggtheme complete ggplot2 themes. Default is \link{theme_gray}.
#' @param theme_config a list of configurations to be passed to \link{theme}
#' @param nrow number of rows per page. Default is 3.
#' @param ncol number of columns per page. Default is 3.
#' @param parallel enable parallel? Default is \code{FALSE}.
#' @return invisibly return the named list of ggplot objects
