Started learning R recently using a GitHub open book. In question 5 under Exercise 3.3.1 of the open book, the question asked: "What does the stroke aesthetic do? What shapes does it work with? (Hint: use ?geom_point)"

I understand that the stroke aesthetic works with shapes 21-24 since they have borders but I'm wondering why do the unofficial answer not mention it works with shapes 0-14 when you can change the colour of those borders too? There's no official answer & many have deemed this book accurate in answering the original open book's exercises, hence the term "unofficial answer". It is also not mentioned in cran.r-project.org too, under Shape's "Colour and fill" (nearing the end of the page).

Loaded tidyverse and the code I used for shape 5
