One of the biggest adjustments to ggplot2 is learning how you make
changes to the legends and axes (through the scales). The info needed
to make these changes is scattered around the book and the
documentation, and so I've been working with a graphic design student
to make a quick reference sheet that puts all this info in one place.
I've attached a draft version and would really like to hear your
comments. What works well? What's missing?
Thanks,

Looking good. A couple of quick comments:
- how to add plotmath expressions
- quotation marks from the example code won't run when copy-pasted
from the reference card, maybe the typographic style could be adapted
a little for usability,
theme_rect(fill = “grey80”)
becoming
theme_rect(fill = "grey80")
Best,

I like the headings on the sides of the pages that lead to content;
they make it easy to find something quickly (good in a reference
sheet). I would agree with Brian that the 'In this guide' section is
not needed.
I think it would be nice if there was some sort of graphical schematic
for how everything fits together. Something like a graph with little
arrows saying 'scale_x_continuous controls this', 'title set by...',
etc. My idea is that someone could look at this graph, point to the
thing they wanted to change on theirs (e.g., the x axis tick marks and
labels) and see the relevant function/argument name. This would offer
a graph --> code flow rather than code --> graph. I do not know if
this is reasonable/possible to make at all, and particularly in
limited space.
The font does seem a bit fuzzy, but I have not tried printing it and
it improves when I zoom in (actually that just sounds like I need new
glasses...).
Thanks for the great work!
Best regards,
Josh

I'd also be interested in Ahsan's inquiry, just curious if comments were ever incorporated into a new version. Super useful!Thanks,
Chris
