scale_shape
maps discrete variables to six easily discernible shapes.
If you have more than six levels, you will get a warning message, and the
seventh and subsequence levels will not appear on the plot. Use
scale_shape_manual()
to supply your own values. You can not map
a continuous variable to shape.
