scale dot size with y axis for dotplots

[Jeroen Ooms]

Is there any way to scale the size of the dots for dotplots such that
they will always fit on the page? By default the size equal to the
binwidth which causes trouble when there are many points, or when the
distribution is heavily skewed:

mydata <- data.frame(x = c(rpois(500, 1),20))
ggplot(mydata, aes(x=x)) + geom_dotplot()

I am also having alot of difficultly with this aspect of geom_dotplot. The only solution I've come to from search the web and fiddling with my code is to adjust the ylim() or xlim(). But often this will leave your plot with even more white space.

No, unfortunately I think it's basically impossible.
