Description

I would like to map, e.g., one grouping variable to color, and another to shape (in a scatter plot) or line type (in a line plot). This can be done with base plot, but is quite cumbersome. Is there a simple way to achieve it with tinyplot?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the requested scatter-plot and line-plot cases in tinyplot, using separate grouping variables for the graphical parameters. Done means tinyplot provides a simple documented way to map one variable to color and another to shape or line type.
