\title{Set guides for each scale}
\usage{
guides(...)
}
\arguments{
\item{...}{List of scale name-guide pairs.  The guide can either
be a string (i.e. "colorbar" or "legend"), or a call to a guide function
(i.e. \code{\link[=guide_colourbar]{guide_colourbar()}} or \code{\link[=guide_legend]{guide_legend()}})
specifying additional arguments.}
}
\value{
A list containing the mapping between scale and guide.
}
\description{
Guides for each scale can be set scale-by-scale with the \code{guide}
argument, or en masse with \code{guides()}.
