\alias{GeomPath}
\title{geom\_path}
\description{Connect observations, in original order}
\details{
This page describes geom\_path, see \code{\link{layer}} and \code{\link{qplot}} for how to create a complete plot from individual components.
}
\section{Aesthetics}{
The following aesthetics can be used with geom\_path. Aesthetics are mapped to variables in the data with the aes function: \code{geom\_path(aes(x = var))}
\itemize{
\item \code{x}: x position (\strong{required})
\item \code{y}: y position (\strong{required})
\item \code{colour}: border colour
\item \code{size}: size
\item \code{linetype}: line type
\item \code{alpha}: transparency
}
}
\usage{geom_path(mapping = NULL, data = NULL, stat = "identity", position = "identity",
lineend = "butt", linejoin = "round", linemitre = 1, na.rm = FALSE,
...)}
\arguments{
\item{mapping}{mapping between variables and aesthetics generated by aes}
\item{data}{dataset used in this layer, if not specified uses plot dataset}
\item{stat}{statistic used by this layer}
\item{position}{position adjustment used by this layer}
\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}{NULL}
\item{...}{other arguments}
}
\seealso{\itemize{
\item \code{\link{geom_line}}: Functional (ordered) lines
\item \code{\link{geom_polygon}}: Filled paths (polygons)
\item \code{\link{geom_segment}}: Line segments
