A collection of geoms for R's 'ggplot2' library. geom_shadowpath(), geom_shadowline(), geom_shadowstep() and geom_shadowpoint() functions draw a shadow below lines to make busy plots more aesthetically pleasing. geom_glowpath(), geom_glowline(), geom_glowstep() and geom_glowpoint() add a neon glow around lines to get a steampunk style.
In the process of adding myself as a contributor, I spotted a use of shadowsize in the README. When I fixed it, I realized that if shadowsize was passed as a variable with aes() it wasn't handled correctly and didn't get passed on to shadowlinewidth. So this pull request also more fully completes #6 as well as some minor updates to the NEWS.md file and function docs that didn't get pulled into the last PR.
Happy to do it! If you needed any helping updating on CRAN, feel free to assign me an issue. Now that I know where most everything is internally, I'd be glad to help when I have time.
