ggnewscale 
ggnewscale tries to make it painless to use multiple scales in
ggplot2. Although originally intended to use with colour and fill, it
should work with any aes, such as shape, linetype and the rest.
It’s very experimental, so use at your own risk!
For another way of defining multiple scales, you can also try relayer.
How to install
You can install ggnewscale from CRAN with:
install.packages("ggnewscale")
Or the development version with:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("eliocamp/ggnewscale")
How to cite
If you use ggnewscale in a publication, I’ll be grateful if you cited it. To get the suggested citation for this (and any other R package) you can use:
citation("ggnewscale")

If you use knitr, you can automate this with
knitr::write_bib(c("ggnewscale"), "packages.bib")
And then add citations with @R-ggnewscale.

Usage
The main function is new_scale() and its aliases new_scale_color()
and new_scale_fill(). When added to a plot, every geom added after
them will use a different scale.
As an example, let’s overlay some measurements over a contour map of
topography using the beloved volcano.
library(ggplot2)
library(ggnewscale)
# Equivalent to melt(volcano)
topography <- expand.grid(x = 1:nrow(volcano),
y = 1:ncol(volcano))
topography$z <- c(volcano)
# point measurements of something at a few locations
set.seed(42)
measurements <- data.frame(x = runif(30, 1, 80),
y = runif(30, 1, 60),
thing = rnorm(30))
ggplot(mapping = aes(x, y)) +
geom_contour(data = topography, aes(z = z, color = stat(level))) +
# Color scale for topography
scale_color_viridis_c(option = "D") +
# geoms below will use another color scale
new_scale_color() +
geom_point(data = measurements, size = 3, aes(color = thing)) +
# Color scale applied to geoms added after new_scale_color()
scale_color_viridis_c(option = "A")
If you want to create new scales for other aes, you can call
new_scale with the name of the aes. For example, use
new_scale("linetype")
to add multiple linetype scales.
