Is it possible to size points based on class like with ggplot2? #18

I am looking to see if its possible to size the points according to class or a continuous value with geom_scattermore() like how its possible with geom_point(). I've played around with it but I haven't managed to get anything.

Is it possible to have this feature included if it isn't there already?

Hello, apologies for a later reply, I completely forgot about this. Originally it was indeed impossible, at this point it is possible -- you can do this:

plot the points for the different classes separately
expand them using the proper kernel functions (that supports both shapes and sizes)
merge them loselessly using the RGBWT merge function

OTOH I'm completely unsure if this will carry easily to ggplot. Might need a ggplot expert.
