tidyplots (development version)

Breaking changes

• Avoid rounding errors of p values in add_test_pvalue() (#142).
• split_plot() is now powered by ggplot2 faceting and not anymore by patchwork::wrap_plots(), which led to unexpected glitches in figure legends. However, this change will eventually break code, that uses patchwork::wrap_plots() arguments like guides = "collect" (#95, #141).

Improvements

• The labels parameter of adjust_*_axis() now survives repeated calls changing the same scale (#136).
• Fixed add_data_points() to respect constant color when white_border = TRUE (#115).
• Prepare for deprecation of %+% and geom_label(label.size = NA).

tidyplots 0.3.1

CRAN release: 2025-07-02

Breaking changes

• Removed the parameters widths and heights from split_plot(). Use adjust_size() before split_plot() instead.
• Removed the function format_number(), which is available from the scales packages.
• Functions to rename, reorder, sort and reverse the levels of variables mapped to x, y, and color now have the suffix _levels() instead of _lables(). For example, rename_x_axis_levels() (#113).

Improvements

• New parameter paired_by in add_test_pvalue() and add_test_asterisks() enables paired comparisons.
• New parameter comparisons in add_test_pvalue() and add_test_asterisks() enables selected comparisons (#82).
• New parameter my_style in tidyplot() for providing a styling function (#85).
• Support for global tidyplots_options() affecting all tidyplots in the current session. Supported options include width, height, unit, dodge_width, and my_style (#84, #85).
• add_annotation_text() now supports colored text (#86).
• Support for axis limits when the axis is of type date, time, or datetime (#97, #99).
• A default jitter seed in add_data_points_jitter(), add_data_labels() and add_data_labels_repel() now facilitates the alignment of jittered labels and points (#104).
• Fixed add_histogram() now respects the color parameter (#106).
• New dataset pca containing a principle component analysis.
• New add_ellipse() function (#52).

tidyplots 0.2.2

CRAN release: 2025-03-07

This is a patch release mainly focusing on preparing tidyplots for the upcoming release of ggplot2 3.6.0.

Breaking changes

• Hard deprecation of as_tidyplot(). Converting a ggplot to a tidyplot probably never was a good idea.

Improvements

• Support ordered factors provided to color (#75)
• Prepare tidyplots for upcoming ggplot2 3.6.0 release (#60)
• Switch from the magrittr pipe %>% to the base R pipe |> in both the documentation and code (#55, #56)
• More meaningful error for invalid plotmath expressions.
• Update documentation (@mthulin, #62)

tidyplots 0.2.1

CRAN release: 2025-01-19

Breaking changes

• The energy dataset has been updated to contain the correct energy values in TWh. The variable power has been renamed to energy. This change will affect all code that uses the energy dataset.

Bug fixes

• The limits parameter of adjust_x_axis() and adjust_y_axis() had no effect when combined with add_count_*() (#41).

Improvements

• New color scheme colors_discrete_rainbow (@electrolars, #35).
• save_plot() gains view_plot argument to control whether to view the plot on screen after saving (#40).
• New add_annotation_text(), add_annotation_rectangle(), add_annotation_segment() for including annotation at specific coordinates (#38).

tidyplots 0.2.0

CRAN release: 2024-12-16

Bug fixes

• The standard deviation (SD) in add_sd_errorbar() and add_sd_ribbon() is now shown as one time SD, not 2 times SD as before. Thanks to @awata25 for spotting this (#25).

Improvements

• Improved documentation (#6).
• The default dodge_width is now determined by a heuristic (#13).
• Tidyplots now requires ggplot2 (>= 3.5.0) (#16).
• The minimal themes theme_minimal_*() now have axis ticks.
• New color scheme colors_discrete_alger suggested by @loukesio (#18).
• New function adjust_theme_details() (#23)
• New arguments fontsize, family, face, and color in adjust_title(), adjust_caption(), adjust_x_axis_title(), adjust_y_axis_title(), and adjust_legend_title() for more detailed control over fonts (#24).

tidyplots 0.1.2

CRAN release: 2024-11-08

• Initial CRAN release
• New S3 class tidycolor for color schemes. The print method of tidycolor sends a html preview of the color scheme to the RStudio viewer panel.
• New new_color_scheme() to create custom color schemes.
• New build-in color schemes using the prefix colors_discrete_, colors_continuous_ and colors_diverging_.
• adjust_colors() now also works with too few or too many provided colors.
• New function factory behind adjust_x_axis() and adjust_y_axis()
• Updated README and documentation.
