#' Set scale limits
#'
#' This is a shortcut for supplying the `limits` argument to the
#' individual scales. Note that, by default, any values outside the limits
#' will be replaced with `NA`.
#'
#' @param ... A name-value pair. The name must be an aesthetic, and the value
#'   must be either a length-2 numeric, a character, a factor, or a date/time.
#'
#'   A numeric value will create a continuous scale. If the larger value
#'   comes first, the scale will be reversed. You can leave one value as
#'   `NA` to compute from the range of the data.
#'
#'   A character or factor value will create a discrete scale.
#'
#'   A date-time value will create a continuous date/time scale.
#' @seealso For changing x or y axis limits \strong{without} dropping data
#'   observations, see [coord_cartesian()]. To expand the range of
#'   a plot to always include certain values, see [expand_limits()].
