+
+Columns: **Geom** | **Primary aes channels** | **Key params** | **Best used when**
+
+---
+
+## Point / scatter family
+
+| Geom | Primary aes | Key params | Best used when |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `geom-point` | x, y, colour, fill, shape, size, alpha | `size` (default auto), `stroke` (outline), `alpha`, `shape` | Scatter plots; discrete x vs continuous y |
+| `geom-jitter` | x, y, colour, fill, shape, size, alpha | `size`, `stroke: 0.5pt`, `fill`, `colour`, `alpha`, `shape`; position defaults to `"jitter"` | Overplotted categoricals; combine with `geom-boxplot` |
+| `geom-count` | x, y, colour, fill, shape | `size: 3pt`, `stroke: none`, `fill`, `colour`, `alpha`, `shape` | Overplotted integer grids; size encodes count |

+## Group / density family
+
+| Geom | Primary aes | Key params | Best used when |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `geom-mark` | colour, fill | `method: "rect"\|"circle"\|"ellipse"\|"hull"`, `expand: 0pt` (padding), `n: 64` (ellipse smoothness), `colour`, `fill`, `stroke: 0.5pt`, `alpha` | Group outlines; convex hull or enclosing shape per group |

+
+## 2D density / grid family

+## Specialised family

+
+---
+
+## Stat helpers (used inside geoms via `stat:` param)
+
+Note: most geoms accept `stat: "identity"` (default) or a stat object. The common pattern is to use the geom's default stat.
+
+| Stat | Created by | Key params | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `stat-bin(...)` | `geom-histogram` default | `bins: 30`, `binwidth: none` | Bin continuous x into counts |
+| `stat-count` | `geom-bar` default | — | Count rows per x level |
+| `stat-boxplot` | `geom-boxplot` default | — | Five-number summary per group |
+| `stat-smooth` | `geom-smooth` default | `method: "lm"`, `se: true`, `level: 0.95` | Fit linear model |
+| `stat-sum` | `geom-count` default | — | Count overlapping points |
+
+---
+
+## Position adjustments
+
+Pass these as the `position:` argument in geoms. String shortcuts (`"stack"`, `"dodge"`, `"fill"`, `"jitter"`, `"identity"`) also work.
+
+| Position | Key params | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `position-stack()` | — | Stacked bars/areas |
+| `position-fill()` | — | 100% stacked bars |
+| `position-dodge(width: 0.9, padding: 0.1)` | `width`, `padding` | Side-by-side bars |
+| `position-jitter(width: 0.4, height: 0.4, seed: 0)` | `width`, `height`, `seed` | Jitter points |
+| `position-jitterdodge(...)` | `jitter.width`, `dodge.width` | Jitter within dodge |
+| `position-nudge(x: 0, y: 0)` | `x`, `y` | Offset text/labels |
+| `position-identity()` | — | No adjustment (default) |
+
+---
+
+## `geom-text` / `geom-label` anchor values
+
+Both `geom-text` and `geom-label` use CeTZ anchors, not ggplot2-style hjust/vjust:
+
+| Anchor | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `"center"` | Centred on point (default) |
+| `"north"` | Above point |
+| `"south"` | Below point |
+| `"east"` | Right of point |
+| `"west"` | Left of point |
+| `"north-east"` | Upper-right |
+| `"south-west"` | Lower-left |
+
+Use `dx` and `dy` (numbers in canvas units where 1 = 1cm, or Typst lengths) for fine offsets.
