v4.0.0rc1

Updated version v4.0.0rc1

v3.2.0

[3.2.0] - 2023-05-09

Added

• geom_lollipop().

  See: example notebook.

• Aesthetic stroke [#320]
  and its scales scale_stroke(), scale_stroke_identity().

  See: example notebook.

• Aesthetic linewidth (for geom_lollipop()) and its scales scale_linewidth(), scale_linewidth_identity().

  See: example notebook.

• The 'newline' character (\n) now works as line break in legend
  text ([#726])

  See: example notebook.

• Horizontal error bars and vertical "dodge" ([#735]).

  See: example notebook.

• Colorbar in geom_imshow(). Parameters show_legend
  and color_by [#717].

Changed

• [BREAKING] geom_dotplot() and geom_ydotplot() no longer support parameter stat.

• Position adjustment settings:

  • width, height parameters of geom_jitter() have priority over the width, height parameters
    of position_jitter() function;
  • nudge_x, nudge_y parameters of geom_text(), geom_label() have priority over x, y parameters
    of position_nudge() function.

• geom_text(), geom_label() use stat='identity' by default.

• JVM/Batik: improved "paint manager" which now has better performance and fixes issues with artifacts that could appear beyond the plot component.

Fixed

• Batik: geom_imshow() fail with an error: "The attribute "xlink:href" of the element is required"
• Batik: bug with usage of "&" [#713].
• Categorical ordering, it's not respected for Boxplot and violin
  plot [#746].
• Groups not sorted similarly when using facets [#679].
• HTML export: exclude computation messages from the output [#725].
• Image export not working with geom_imshow()
  and geom_raster() [LPK-175].
• geom_segment() doesn't take into account the alpha [#748].
• geom_density2d: Internal error with None values in data [#702].
• DateTime metadata is not applied for scales other than
  X/Y [LPK-174].
• Quantile should be shown in tooltip if the variable ..quantile.. is mapped to geom aesthetic.
• Bad default formatting for stat variables [#654].
• The scale name does not apply with as_discrete() [#653].
• Tooltip is not shown when configured for 'const' value [#610].
• Fix crash when try to add a constant to a tooltip (e.g."^size", where size aesthetic is specified with a number).
• "Variable not found" error in ggmarginal [#681].
• facet_grid: Internal error [#699].
• Export to SVG fails if breaks are given by integers [#763].
• Remove hard IPython dependency [#749].
• Tooltips bug [LPK-176].
• livemap: doesn't work well with gggrid [#750].
• livemap: memory leak caused by a document event handler.
• livemap: flickering when zooming with the buttons.
• livemap: tooltip text doesn't reflect data under the cursor [#709].

v3.2.0rc1

Updated version v3.2.0rc1

v3.1.0

[3.1.0] - 2023-03-07

Added

• gggrid() function.

  See: example notebook.

• joint_plot()

  See: example notebook.

• Export to PNG files in ggsave().

  Note: export to PNG file requires the CairoSVG library.

  See: example notebook.

• Axis position parameter in position scales scale_x_*(), scale_y_*().

  See: example notebook.

• angle parameter in element_text() in theme().

  See: example notebook.

• Additional "color" aesthetics: paint_a, paint_b, paint_c.

  These aesthetics are flexible and can be used as either "color" or "fill" as needed. See Multiple Color Scales demo.

  Also added a set of related "color scale" functions with the "aesthetic" parameter for configuring of additional color scales.

  See New "Scale" Functions demo.

• Drawing quantile lines and filling quantile areas in geom_violin() and geom_density()

  See: example notebook.

• geodesic parameter for geom_segment() and geom_path().

  See: example notebook.

• density2d and density2df geometry types in residual_plot().

Changed

• The MinGW toolchain is no longer required for installing of Lets-Plot on Windows.

• [BREAKING] geom_violin() no longer supports parameter draw_quantiles. Use new quantile_lines and quantiles parameters as needed.

• [BREAKING] stack and fill position adjustments now stack objects on top of each other only if these objects belong to different groups.
  If necessary, use mode="all"" in position_stack() or position_fill() to stack objects regardless of their group.

  See: example notebook.

Fixed

• Tooltip does not reflect ..quantile.. aesthetic change [#658].
• color_by parameter of the residual_plot() should group the data points [#662].
• 'map_join': variable is lost after "stat" [#664].
• Error when tooltip has variable mapped to aesthetic used by stat [#665].
• Groups not sorted similarly when position='stack' [#673].
• Area ridges: fill overlaps geometry borders when colors are repeated [#674].

• livemap: wrong position when path goes through the antimeridian [#682].
• livemap: wrong position if path is on a circle of latitude [#683].
• livemap: tooltip may show wrong data on density2df [#684].
• livemap: geom_text vjust="center" is a bit off [#132].
• livemap: segment that goes through the antimeridian should be straight [#692].
• livemap: apply alpha to the pie chart and to its tooltip color marker.
• Layout: uneven plot margins for the horizontal axis [#705].
• Sampling: increase the default N for "pick sampling" and for other types of sampling [#687].
