In addition to geometric element layers (geoms) based on base-ggplot2 layers like geom_point() but specified to matrix factors as geom_row_point(), ordr introduces ggproto classes for some additional geometric elements commonly used in biplots. The factor-specific geoms invoke the statistical transformation layers (stats) stat_rows() and stat_cols(), which specify the matrix factor. Because each ggplot layer consists of only one stat and one geom, this necessitates that ggproto classes for new stats must also come in *Rows and *Cols flavors.
