\description{Polygon, a filled path}
\details{
This page describes geom\_polygon, 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\_polygon.  Aesthetics are mapped to variables in the data with the aes function: \code{geom\_polygon(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{fill}: internal colour 
  \item \code{size}: size 
  \item \code{linetype}: line type 
  \item \code{alpha}: transparency 
}
}
\usage{geom_polygon(mapping = NULL, data = NULL, stat = "identity", 
    position = "identity", ...)}
\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{...}{ignored }
}
\seealso{\itemize{
  \item \code{\link{geom_path}}: an unfilled polygon
  \item \code{\link{geom_ribbon}}: a polygon anchored on the x-axis

\examples{\dontrun{
# When using geom_polygon, you will typically need two data frames:
# one contains the coordinates of each polygon (positions),  and the
# other the values associated with each polygon (values).  An id
# variable links the two together

ids <- factor(c("1.1", "2.1", "1.2", "2.2", "1.3", "2.3"))

values <- data.frame(
  id = ids, 
  value = c(3, 3.1, 3.1, 3.2, 3.15, 3.5)
)

positions <- data.frame(
  id = rep(ids, each = 4),
  x = c(2, 1, 1.1, 2.2, 1, 0, 0.3, 1.1, 2.2, 1.1, 1.2, 2.5, 1.1, 0.3, 
  0.5, 1.2, 2.5, 1.2, 1.3, 2.7, 1.2, 0.5, 0.6, 1.3),
  y = c(-0.5, 0, 1, 0.5, 0, 0.5, 1.5, 1, 0.5, 1, 2.1, 1.7, 1, 1.5, 
  2.2, 2.1, 1.7, 2.1, 3.2, 2.8, 2.1, 2.2, 3.3, 3.2)
)

# Currently we need to manually merge the two together
datapoly <- merge(values, positions, by=c("id"))

(p <- ggplot(datapoly, aes(x=x, y=y)) + geom_polygon(aes(fill=value, group=id)))

# Which seems like a lot of work, but then it's easy to add on 
# other features in this coordinate system, e.g.:

stream <- data.frame(
  x = cumsum(runif(50, max = 0.1)), 
  y = cumsum(runif(50,max = 0.1))
)

p + geom_line(data = stream, colour="grey30", size = 5)

# And if the positions are in longitude and latitude, you can use
# coord_map to produce different map projections.
