This grob is useful for scatterplots with a lot of overplotting. It bins the region into hexagons, counts the number of points in each hexagonal bin and then plots them.
Aesthetic mappings that this grob function understands:
x:x position (required)
y:y position (required)
weight: observation weights
These can be specified in the plot defaults (see ggplot) or
in the aesthetics argument. If you want to modify the position
of the points or any axis options, you will need to add a position scale to
the plot. These functions start with ps, eg.
pscontinuous or pscategorical
Other options:
xbins:number of bins to use
...:other arguments passed to grid.hexagons

grid.hexagon, grob_2density for another way of dealing with overplotting
