ggplot2 is separating size and linewidth

[teunbrand]

Hey Allan,

The ggplot2 have separated the size and linewidth aesthetics.
Thomas has posted guidelines on twitter of potential steps extension developers might take to do the same.
While we already use the linewidth aesthetic almost anywhere, to not conflate the text's size, do you think we need to take any action? I'm not too familiar with the geom_text_sf() internal workings, but it'd be good to hear if you think it may need to be changed.

Best,
Teun

Hi Teun.

The geom_textsf has separate size and linewidth aesthetics, and I'm pretty sure all the other geoms do too, so I don't think we need to take any specific action here. I guess we could build and test with the dev version of ggplot2, but I think we can safely postpone until the next release.

Regards

Allan
