aes_string

Aesthetic mappings describe how variables in the data are
  mapped to visual properties (aesthetics) of geoms.
  Compared to aes this function operates on strings rather
  than expressions.

An implementation of the grammar of graphics in R. It
        combines the advantages of both base and lattice graphics:
        conditioning and shared axes are handled automatically, and you
        can still build up a plot step by step from multiple data
        sources. It also implements a sophisticated multidimensional
        conditioning system and a consistent interface to map data to
        aesthetic attributes. See the ggplot2 website for more
        information, documentation and examples.
