\title{Alpha transparency scales}
\usage{
scale_alpha(..., range = c(0.1, 1))
scale_alpha_continuous(..., range = c(0.1, 1))
scale_alpha_binned(..., range = c(0.1, 1))
scale_alpha_discrete(...)
scale_alpha_ordinal(..., range = c(0.1, 1))
}
\arguments{
\item{...}{Other arguments passed on to \code{\link[=continuous_scale]{continuous_scale()}}, \code{\link[=binned_scale]{binned_scale()}},
or \code{\link[=discrete_scale]{discrete_scale()}} as appropriate, to control name, limits,
breaks, labels and so forth.}
\item{range}{Output range of alpha values. Must lie between 0 and 1.}
}
\description{
Alpha-transparency scales are not tremendously useful, but can be a
convenient way to visually down-weight less important observations.
\code{scale_alpha()} is an alias for \code{scale_alpha_continuous()} since
that is the most common use of alpha, and it saves a bit of typing.
}
\examples{
p <- ggplot(mpg, aes(displ, hwy)) +
geom_point(aes(alpha = year))
p
p + scale_alpha("cylinders")
p + scale_alpha(range = c(0.4, 0.8))
}
