Jitter based on scale types
This position adjustment is able to select a meaningful jitter of the data based on the combination of positional scale types. IT behaves differently depending on if none, one, or both the x and y scales are discrete. If both are discrete it will jitter the datapoints evenly inside a disc, if one of them is discrete it will jitter the discrete dimension to follow the density along the other dimension (like a sina plot). If neither are discrete it will not do any jittering.

jitter.width |
The maximal width of the jitter |
bw |
The smoothing bandwidth to use in the case of sina jittering. See
the |
scale |
Should the width of jittering be scaled based on the number of points in the group |
seed |
A seed to supply to make the jittering reproducible across layers |
