\usage{
geom_quantile(mapping = NULL, data = NULL, stat = "quantile",
  position = "identity", lineend = "butt", linejoin = "round",
  linemitre = 1, na.rm = FALSE, show.legend = NA, inherit.aes = TRUE,
  ...)

stat_quantile(mapping = NULL, data = NULL, geom = "quantile",
  position = "identity", quantiles = c(0.25, 0.5, 0.75), formula = NULL,
  method = "rq", method.args = list(), na.rm = FALSE, show.legend = NA,
  inherit.aes = TRUE, ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{mapping}{Set of aesthetic mappings created by \code{\link{aes}} or
\code{\link{aes_}}. If specified and \code{inherit.aes = TRUE} (the
default), is combined with the default mapping at the top level of the
plot. You only need to supply \code{mapping} if there isn't a mapping
defined for the plot.}

\item{data}{A data frame. If specified, overrides the default data frame
defined at the top level of the plot.}

\item{position}{Position adjustment, either as a string, or the result of
a call to a position adjustment function.}

\item{lineend}{Line end style (round, butt, square)}

\item{linejoin}{Line join style (round, mitre, bevel)}

\item{linemitre}{Line mitre limit (number greater than 1)}

\item{na.rm}{If \code{FALSE} (the default), removes missing values with
a warning.  If \code{TRUE} silently removes missing values.}

\item{show.legend}{logical. Should this layer be included in the legends?
\code{NA}, the default, includes if any aesthetics are mapped.
\code{FALSE} never includes, and \code{TRUE} always includes.}

\item{inherit.aes}{If \code{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. \code{\link{borders}}.}

\item{...}{other arguments passed on to \code{\link{layer}}. There are
  three types of arguments you can use here:

  \itemize{
  \item Aesthetics: to set an aesthetic to a fixed value, like
     \code{color = "red"} or \code{size = 3}.
  \item Other arguments to the layer, for example you override the
    default \code{stat} associated with the layer.
  \item Other arguments passed on to the stat.
  }}

\item{geom,stat}{Use to override the default connection between
\code{geom_quantile} and \code{stat_quantile}.}

\item{quantiles}{conditional quantiles of y to calculate and display}

\item{formula}{formula relating y variables to x variables}

\item{method}{Quantile regression method to use.  Currently only supports
\code{\link[quantreg]{rq}}.}

\item{method.args}{List of additional arguments passed on to the modelling
function defined by \code{method}.}

\examples{
m <- ggplot(mpg, aes(displ, 1 / hwy)) + geom_point()
m + geom_quantile()
m + geom_quantile(quantiles = 0.5)
q10 <- seq(0.05, 0.95, by = 0.05)
m + geom_quantile(quantiles = q10)

# You can also use rqss to fit smooth quantiles
m + geom_quantile(method = "rqss")
# Note that rqss doesn't pick a smoothing constant automatically, so
# you'll need to tweak lambda yourself
m + geom_quantile(method = "rqss", lambda = 0.1)

# Set aesthetics to fixed value
m + geom_quantile(colour = "red", size = 2, alpha = 0.5)
