\title{Size scale.}
\usage{
scale_size_continuous(..., range = c(1, 6))

scale_size(..., range = c(1, 6))

scale_size_discrete(..., range = c(1, 6))
}
\arguments{
\item{range}{a numeric vector of length 2 that specifies the minimum and
maximum size of the plotting symbol after transformation.}

\item{...}{common continuous scale parameters: \code{name}, \code{breaks},
\code{labels}, \code{na.value}, \code{limits} and \code{trans}.  See
\code{\link{continuous_scale}} for more details}

\description{
Size scale.

\examples{
\donttest{
(p <- qplot(mpg, cyl, data=mtcars, size=cyl))
p + scale_size("cylinders")
p + scale_size("number\\nof\\ncylinders")

p + scale_size(range = c(0, 10))
p + scale_size(range = c(1, 2))

# Map area, instead of width/radius
# Perceptually, this is a little better
p + scale_size_area()
p + scale_size_area(max_size = 25)

# Also works with factors, but not a terribly good
# idea, unless your factor is ordered, as in this example
qplot(mpg, cyl, data=mtcars, size=factor(cyl))

# To control the size mapping for discrete variable, use
# scale_size_manual:
last_plot() + scale_size_manual(values=c(2,4,6))
