## Overview

ggguides provides styling functions to customize legend appearance without
diving into ggplot2's theme element hierarchy. The main functions are:

- `legend_style()` - Comprehensive styling (fonts, backgrounds, borders)

- `legend_keys()` - Override key appearance (size, alpha, shape)

- `legend_order()` - Reorder legend entries

- `legend_wrap()` - Multi-column/row layouts

- `legend_reverse()` - Reverse entry order

- `colorbar_style()` - Customize continuous color bar legends

## Font Styling

### Font Size

Adjust the overall text size (applies to both title and labels):

```{r style-size, fig.show='hold', out.width='48%'}
p <- ggplot(mtcars, aes(mpg, wt, color = factor(cyl))) +
  geom_point(size = 3) +
  labs(color = "Cylinders")

p + ggtitle("Default size")
p + legend_style(size = 14) + ggtitle("size = 14")
```

### Font Family

Change the font family for legend text:

```{r style-family, fig.show='hold', out.width='48%'}
p + legend_style(family = "serif") + ggtitle("serif")
p + legend_style(family = "mono") + ggtitle("mono")
```

### Title Emphasis

Make the title stand out with separate size and face settings:

```{r style-title}
p + legend_style(
  size = 12,
  title_size = 14,
  title_face = "bold"
)
```

## Text Rotation

For legends with long category names, rotate the labels to save space:

### Basic Rotation

```{r rotation-basic, fig.width=7}
p_long <- ggplot(mpg, aes(displ, hwy, color = class)) +
  geom_point()

p_long + legend_style(angle = 45)
```

### Vertical Labels

Use 90 degrees for fully vertical text. Key height is automatically adjusted to
prevent label overlap:

```{r rotation-vertical, fig.width=7}
p_long + legend_style(angle = 90)
```

### Title Rotation

Rotate the legend title independently:

```{r rotation-title, fig.show='hold', out.width='48%'}
p_long + legend_style(title_angle = 90, title_hjust = 0.5) + ggtitle("Rotated title only")
p_long + legend_style(angle = 45, title_angle = 90) + ggtitle("Both rotated")
```

## Background and Border

Add visual containers around the legend:

```{r style-background}
p + legend_style(
  background = "#FFF3E0"
)
```

```{r style-border}
p + legend_style(
  background = "#FFF3E0",
  background_color = "#FF9800"
)
```

## Key Size

Adjust the size of legend keys (color swatches):

```{r style-key}
p + legend_style(
  key_width = 1.5,
  key_height = 1.5
)
```

## Margin

Control spacing around the legend:

```{r style-margin}
p + legend_style(
  background = "#FFF3E0",
  margin = 0.5
)
```

## Full Styling Example

Combine all styling options:

```{r style-full}
p + legend_style(
  size = 11,
  title_size = 13,
  title_face = "bold",
  family = "sans",
  key_width = 1.2,
  background = "#FFF3E0",
  background_color = "#FF9800",
  margin = 0.3
)
```

## Wrapping Legend Entries

For legends with many entries, `legend_wrap()` creates multi-column or
multi-row layouts.

### By Columns

```{r wrap-ncol, fig.width=7}
ggplot(mpg, aes(displ, hwy, color = class)) +
  geom_point() +
  legend_wrap(ncol = 2)
```

### By Rows

```{r wrap-nrow, fig.width=7}
ggplot(mpg, aes(displ, hwy, color = class)) +
  geom_point() +
  legend_wrap(nrow = 2)
```

### With Bottom Position

Wrapping works well with horizontal legends:

```{r wrap-bottom, fig.width=7}
ggplot(mpg, aes(displ, hwy, color = class)) +
  geom_point() +
  legend_wrap(nrow = 2) +
  legend_bottom()
```

## Customizing Legend Keys

When plot aesthetics like small point sizes or low alpha values make legend
keys hard to read, `legend_keys()` overrides the key appearance without
affecting the plot.

### Enlarging Small Points

```{r keys-size, fig.show='hold', out.width='48%'}
p_small <- ggplot(mtcars, aes(mpg, wt, color = factor(cyl))) +
  geom_point(size = 1) +
  labs(color = "Cylinders")

p_small + ggtitle("Small points in legend")
p_small + legend_keys(size = 4) + ggtitle("Enlarged legend keys")
```

### Removing Transparency

```{r keys-alpha, fig.show='hold', out.width='48%'}
p_alpha <- ggplot(mtcars, aes(mpg, wt, color = factor(cyl))) +
  geom_point(alpha = 0.3, size = 3) +
  labs(color = "Cylinders")

p_alpha + ggtitle("Transparent legend keys")
p_alpha + legend_keys(alpha = 1) + ggtitle("Opaque legend keys")
```

### Combining Overrides

```{r keys-combined}
ggplot(mtcars, aes(mpg, wt, color = factor(cyl))) +
  geom_point(alpha = 0.3, size = 1) +
  legend_keys(size = 4, alpha = 1)
```

### Targeting Specific Aesthetics

By default, `legend_keys()` applies to both colour and fill legends.
Target specific aesthetics with the `aesthetic` parameter:

```{r keys-fill}
ggplot(mtcars, aes(factor(cyl), mpg, fill = factor(cyl))) +
  geom_boxplot(alpha = 0.5) +
  legend_keys(alpha = 1, aesthetic = "fill")
```

### Changing Symbol Shapes

Use named shapes for clarity instead of numeric codes:

```{r keys-shape, fig.show='hold', out.width='48%'}
p + legend_keys(shape = "square") + ggtitle("Square")
p + legend_keys(shape = "diamond") + ggtitle("Diamond")
```

Available shape names include: `"circle"`, `"square"`, `"diamond"`, `"triangle"`,
`"plus"`, `"cross"`, `"asterisk"`.

### Filled Shapes with Outlines

Shapes 21-25 (or names ending in `_filled`) support both outline and fill colors,
making legends more visible against any background:

```{r keys-outline, fig.show='hold', out.width='48%'}
# White fill with colored outline - works with color mapping only
p + legend_keys(shape = "circle_filled", fill = "white", stroke = 1.5) +
  ggtitle("White fill, colored outline")

# Colored fill with black outline - requires mapping BOTH color and fill
ggplot(mtcars, aes(mpg, wt, color = factor(cyl), fill = factor(cyl))) +
  geom_point(size = 3, shape = 21, stroke = 1) +
  legend_keys(colour = "black", stroke = 1) +
  ggtitle("Colored fill, black outline")
```

Note: For colored fills with a custom outline, you must map both `color` and `fill`
in the plot aesthetics. This is a ggplot2 limitation—`override.aes` can only set
static values, it cannot make fill inherit from color.

Shape types:

| Type | Shapes | Fill from | Outline from |
|------|--------|-----------|--------------|
| Outline only | `"circle_open"`, `"square_open"`, `"diamond_open"` | N/A | `colour` |
| Solid filled | `"circle"`, `"square"`, `"diamond"` | `colour` | N/A |
| Fill + outline | `"circle_filled"`, `"square_filled"`, `"diamond_filled"` | `fill` | `colour` |

## Reordering Legend Entries

`legend_order()` changes the order of legend entries without modifying
factor levels in your data.

### Explicit Order

Specify the exact order you want:

```{r order-explicit}
p + legend_order(c("8", "6", "4"))
```

### Using Functions

Apply functions like `rev` or `sort` to the current order:

```{r order-rev, fig.show='hold', out.width='48%'}
p + legend_order(rev) + ggtitle("Reversed")
p + legend_order(sort) + ggtitle("Sorted")
```

### Other Aesthetics

Reorder legends for fill, shape, or other aesthetics:

```{r order-fill}
ggplot(mtcars, aes(factor(cyl), fill = factor(cyl))) +
  geom_bar() +
  legend_order(c("8", "4", "6"), aesthetic = "fill")
```

## Reversing Legend Order

For simple reversal, `legend_reverse()` is a convenient shorthand:

```{r reverse}
p + legend_reverse()
```

## Combining Style Functions

All ggguides functions compose with `+`:

```{r combined-styling, fig.width=7}
ggplot(mpg, aes(displ, hwy, color = class)) +
  geom_point() +
  legend_left() +
  legend_style(
    size = 11,
    title_face = "bold",
    background = "#FFF3E0"
  )
```

```{r combined-wrap-style, fig.width=7}
ggplot(mpg, aes(displ, hwy, color = class)) +
  geom_point() +
  legend_wrap(ncol = 2) +
  legend_bottom() +
  legend_style(size = 10, title_face = "bold")
```

## Styling Continuous Color Bars

For continuous scales, `colorbar_style()` customizes the color bar appearance.

### Basic Usage

```{r colorbar-basic}
p_cont <- ggplot(faithfuld, aes(waiting, eruptions, fill = density)) +
  geom_tile()

p_cont
```

### Size Adjustments

Create taller, thinner bars:

```{r colorbar-size}
p_cont + colorbar_style(width = 0.5, height = 10, aesthetic = "fill")
```

### Horizontal Orientation

```{r colorbar-horizontal}
p_cont + colorbar_style(width = 10, height = 0.5, direction = "horizontal", aesthetic = "fill") +
  legend_bottom()
```
### Adding a Frame

```{r colorbar-frame, fig.show='hold', out.width='48%'}
p_cont + colorbar_style(frame = TRUE, aesthetic = "fill") + ggtitle("Black frame")
p_cont + colorbar_style(frame = "#FF9800", aesthetic = "fill") + ggtitle("Orange frame")
```

### Removing Ticks

```{r colorbar-noticks}
p_cont + colorbar_style(ticks = FALSE, frame = "#FF9800", aesthetic = "fill")
```

### Combined Customization

```{r colorbar-full}
p_cont + colorbar_style(
  width = 0.5,
  height = 8,
  frame = "#E65100",
  ticks_length = 0.3,
  aesthetic = "fill"
)
```
