ggplot2 1.0.1

----------------------------------------------------------------

* Fixes to pass `R CMD check --run-donttest` in R-devel.

* Improvements to order of colours and legend display for continuous colour

scales extracted from colorbrewer palettes by `scale_*_distiller()` (@jiho, 1076)

ggplot2 1.0.0

----------------------------------------------------------------

NEW FEATURES

* New coordinate system for small scale maps. `coord_quickmap()` computes and

sets the correct aspect ratio between one degree of latitude and one degree

of longitude at the centre of the plotted region. It does not perform full

fledged mapping projection as `coord_map()` does and therefore is much

faster. Yet, it gives a correct approximation for small scale maps (a few

degrees in either direction) at medium to low latitudes (@jiho, #922).

* `geom_boxplot` gain new `varwidth` argument for controlling whether or not

the width of boxplots should be proportional to the size of the groups

(@tsieger, #927).

* `position_jitterdodge()` combines `position_jitter()` and `position_dodge()`,

allowing the user to plot and align points generated by e.g. `geom_point()`

with those generated by a dodged `geom_boxplot()`. See

`example(position_jitterdodge)` for a potential usage. (@kevinushey, #932)

* Allow specifying only one of the limits in a scale and use the automatic

calculation of the other limit by passing NA to the limit function,

`xlim()` or `ylim()` (@jimhester, #557).

* Allow to use brewer palettes for continuous scales, through the new

`scale_fill/colour_distiller()` functions (@jiho, #925).

* `stat_ellipse()` adds data ellipses. It supports bivariate normal and t distributions,

as well as a euclidian distance circle. (@jofrhwld, #926)

* Add new themes: `theme_linedraw()` is similar to `theme_bw()` but with

truly only white and black elements and spacing between elements identical

to `theme_gray`. `theme_light` is similar but with light gray box and axes

around the plot, to emphasise content more (@jiho, #923)

* new theme settings panel.margin.x and panel.margin.y (units) allow

specifying horizontal and vertical gap between panels in facetted plots (for

both grid and wrap). (Kirill Müller. Fixes #839)

* Fix vertical justification for rotated text. This will change the appearance

of plots that use textual elements that are rotated by 90° or 270° and have a

`vjust` parameter other than the default 0.5; the interpretation of `vjust`

and `hjust` is now the same for both rotated and non-rotated text elements

(0 = top/left, 1 = bottom/right, 0.5 = centered). (@krlmlr, #883)

* Added helper function `labeller()` for formatting faceting values.

(@stefanedwards, #910). Added `label_wrap_gen` based on

https://github.com/hadley/ggplot2/wiki/labeller#writing-new-labellers

(@stefanedwards, #910)

BUG FIXES AND MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

* `aes()` no more treats variables like `a..x..b` as a calculated aesthetic.

(@krlmlr, #834.)

* New `aes_q()` function to generate aesthetic specifications from

quoted calls/names. `aes_string()` uses names `x` and `y` for first

two unnamed arguments.

* `fortify.SpatialPolygonsDataFrame()` now calls `polygons` without

requiring the `sp` to be loaded first (@seancarmody, #879).

* The outliers of `geom_boxplot()` use the default colour, size and shape from

`geom_point()`. Changing the defaults of `geom_point()` with

`update_geom_defaults()` will apply the same changes to the outliers of

`geom_boxplot()`. Changing the defaults for the outliers was previously not

possible. (@ThierryO, #757)

* `geom_dotplot()` now works with `qplot()`. (@rasmusab. Fixes #825)

* Marginal improvements to `theme_bw()` and `theme_classic()` (@jiho, #934)

* `stat_smooth()` checks for `method = "auto"` and `method = "glm"` in

a safer way.

* Add `"none"` to documentation of `theme()` for parameter `legend.position`

(@krlmlr, #829).

REMOVED FUNCTIONALITY

* `ggpcp()`, `ggfluctuation()`, `ggmissing()`, `ggstructure()`, and

`ggorder()` are now defunct and have been removed.

ggplot2 0.9.3.1

----------------------------------------------------------------

BUG FIXES

* The theme element `legend.box.just` now can be set. It was not properly

recognized before.

* `stat_density2d` previously resulted in errors when geom="polygon". This

is fixed. (Fixes #741 and #749)

* `annotation_logticks` previously drew one set of logticks for each group,

and inherited aesthetic mappings like colour. It no longer does this. (Fixes

#767)

* Plots with geom_crossbar not display correct symbol in legend. (Fixes #768)

* Grouping is no longer set automatically by `stat_summary()`, allowing for

summary paths. This reverts a change made for 0.9.3. (Fixes #732 and #739)

ggplot2 0.9.3

----------------------------------------------------------------

* The `plotmatrix` function has been deprecated and prints a warning

message.

* `stat_bin` now produces warning messages when it is used with set or

mapped y values. Previously, it was possible to use `stat_bin` and

also set/map y values; if there was one y value per group, it would

display the y values from the data, instead of the counts of cases for

each group. This usage is deprecated and will be removed in a future

version of ggplot2. (Winston Chang. Fixes #632)

* Several small changes were made so that ggplot2 is compatible with

plyr <= 1.7.1 as well as plyr > 1.7.1.

* `geom_polygon` draws multiple polygons as a single grob instead of as

separate grobs. This results in much better performance. For example,

drawing a world map is about 12 times faster. (Winston Chang. Fixes #666)

MINOR FEATURES

* A new theme `theme_minimal` has been added. This theme is based on

`theme_bw`, but does not have outlines around many of the rectangular

elements. (Baptiste Auguie)

* A new theme `theme_classic` has been added. This theme has is based on

`theme_bw`. It has x and y axis lines, but no box around the plotting area

and no grid lines. (Thanks to David Kahle)

* `geom_segment` allows setting `lineend`. (Jean-Olivier Irisson)

* `ggsave` raises an error when making images larger than 50x50 inches.

This prevents accidentally creating extremely large bitmap images that

hang R and eat up memory. (Winston Chang. Fixes #517)

* `train_cartesian` and `train_trans` are no longer memoized. Previously

the results of these functions were saved and so they would not

respond changes in the operating environment, such as a change in

locale. (Winston Chang. Fixes #592)

* In `stat_ydensity` and `geom_violin`, the `scale` argument now accepts

the value "width", for equal widths. Additionally `scale="equal"` has

been deprecated, in favor of "area". (Jean-Olivier Irisson)

* `stat_quantile` now supports `rqss`.

* `scale_size_area` has been added as a replacement for `scale_area`. This

makes the naming more consistent. The new scale also by default makes the

area of points proportional to the value, which is different from what

`scale_area` does. (Fixes #635)

* Functions now have gradual deprecation behavior with the `gg_dep` function.

* Scales for required but missing aesthetics (x and y) are now automatically

added. (Fixes #676)

* `geom_crossbar` previous raised a warning when notches were used and the

notches went outside the hinges. This has been changed to a message.

BUG FIXES

* With `geom_segment`, when a variable mapped to `linetype` had an NA

value, it would raise an error. This is now fixed. (Winston Chang.

Fixes #623)

* When using `coord_map` with some projections, latitude lines wrapped

around the globe and added extra lines. (Winston Chang. Fixes #562)

* `stat_summary` now calculates a unique value at each x. (Winston

Chang. Fixes #622)

* Colorbar guides now supports language objects returned from functions

like `math_format()`, and will render them as expressions. (Kohske

Takahashi)

* When using `coord_polar`, NA or NaN values caused errors. They are now

ignored instead. (Winston Chang)

* Text theme elements used in `guide_legend`, such as `label.theme`, caused

confusing errors when the angle wasn't set. Now it produces a more

informative error message.

* Theme elements now have their subclass listed first, before the `element`

class. (Thanks to Jeffrey Arnold)

* Previously when free scales were used with non-cartesian coords, they just

wouldn't work. Now ggplot throws an error with an informative message.

(Fixes #673)

* `geom_dotplot` previously worked with `position="dodge", but did not work

when using `position=position_dodge()`. It now works with both. (Fixes

#709)

* For linetype scales, NA values previously caused errors. Now `na.value`

for linetype scales defaults to "blank". (Fixes #711)

ggplot2 0.9.2.1

----------------------------------------------------------------

BUG FIXES

* find_global now searches for objects in the namespace environment

instead of the package environment. This fixes problems when ggplot2

is imported to another package but not attached.

ggplot2 0.9.2

----------------------------------------------------------------

THEME SYSTEM

* The theme system has been completely rewritten. (Winston Chang)

* The functions `theme_text`, `theme_line`, and so on have been renamed to

`element_text`, `element_line`, and so on.

* The `opts()` function has been renamed to `theme()`.

* To set the plot title, use `labs(title = "...")` or `ggtitle("...")

instead of `opts(title = "...")`.

* Elements are now just lists of properties, instead of functions that

return grobs.

* Theme elements now can inherit properties. For example, `axis.title.x`

inherits properties from `axis.title`, which in turn inherits from

`text`. The inheritance tree is stored in ggplot2::.element_tree.

* Theme objects can now be added to each other with `+`, without a ggplot

object. There is also a new `%replace%` operator for adding theme

objects together.

* Vertical and horizontal grid lines can now be controlled independently,

with `axis.grid.major.x`, `axis.grid.major.y` (and the same for minor);

`axis.ticks.x` and `axis.ticks.y`; and `axis.line.x` and `axis.line.y`.

* The `size` property of theme elements can be defined relative to the

parent objects, using the `rel()` function.

MINOR FEATURES

* ggplot2 now uses the external gtable package instead of internal gtable

functions.

* The condition that set parameters (e.g. `colour = "red"`) could only be of

length one has been relaxed - they may now be of length one, or exactly the

same length as the data. Recycling is not done because it makes it harder to

spot problems. This makes `annotate` considerably more flexible. (Fixes

#489)

* `stat_contour` is now somewhat faster

* new stat class `stat_ecdf` that shows empirical cumulative distribution

function. (Kohske Takahashi)

* Dependency on `gpclib` removed, and `fortify.SpatialPolygonsDataFrame` will

now use `rgeos` if available - this is particularly useful if you're not

able to use the non-free `gpclib`.

* `ggsave` now supports emf output files.

* all "template" plots (`plotmatrix`, `ggorder` etc) have been deprecated and

will be removed in a future version. These plots are poorly tested and

poorly supported and really belong in a separate package.

* The default guide for continuous color/fill scale is now colourbar.

(Kohske Takahashi. Fixes #555)

* The arrowhead of geom-path and geom-segment with `arrow = TRUE` is

now filled with the same colour as the path.

* The algorithm for calculating breaks locations has been changed from

`pretty_breaks()` to `extended_breaks()` from the 'labeling' package

by Justin Talbot. (Winston Chang. Fixes #580)

* `scale_type`, the function used to pick which type of scale should be

used for a given type of input variable is now an S3 generic. That

means that if you want to add a new default type of scale you can

provide a method - it should return a string giving the name of the

scale to use (e.g. "continuous", "discrete", "date")

* When there are multiple guides (legends), the order that they are

displayed can now be controlled manually. (Kohske Takahashi. Fixes

#470)

* When a scale for a given aesthetic is added to a plot more than once,

display a message indicating that the first scale will be replaced.

(Winston Chang. Fixes #518)

DOCUMENTATION

* All geoms and stats now document their aesthetics. (Thanks to joranE.

Fixes #447)

BUG FIXES

* `scale_x_continuous` now respects `na.value` (Fixes #522)

* `geom_map` now correctly uses set aesthetics (e.g. `colour = "green"`)

* Setting breaks outside the limits of the x or y axis no longer causes

errors. (Kohske Takahashi. Fixes #552)

* `facet_locate` no longer evaluates unneeded expressions. (Winston

Chang. Fixes #565)

* `annotation_map` now gets group id from munched data. (Winston Chang.

Fixes #568)

* `geom_raster` now supports alpha. (Kohske Takahashi. Fixes #596)

* Both axis lines are now drawn above the plotting area panel.

(Winston Chang. Fixes #585)

* The jitter resolution is now correctly calculated when the data

does _not_ include zero. (Thanks to Karl Ove Hufthammer. Fixes #572)

* Legend icons for `geom_boxplot` now display linetype. (Kohske

Takahashi. Fixes #608)

* Facets now appear in the correct order when layers with different

factor levels are added. (Winston Chang. Fixes #543)

* Distances in polar coordinates are calculated along spiral arcs,

instead of straight-line distance. (Winston Chang. Fixes #471)

* `fortify.SpatialPolygonsDataFrame` now uses the correct ordering.

(Charlotte Wickham. Fixes #434)

* `stat_vline` and `stat_hline` no longer throw errors when

`xintercept` and `yintercept` are passed to them. (Winston Chang.

Fixes #624)

ggplot2 0.9.1

----------------------------------------------------------------

MINOR FEATURES

* `ggstructure` and `ggorder`, which call `ggpcp`, no longer have a

`scale` argument since `ggpcp` does not have one.

* built in datasets have been checked to make sure they use characters,

factors and ordered factors appropriately

* `geom_raster` and `annotation_raster` gain new `interpolate` argument for

controlling whether or not rasters are interpolated

* Added `plot` as an alias for `print` for ggplot objects.

* Visual tests have been moved to /visual_test and modified to work with the

vtest package. (Thanks to Winston Chang)

* `geom_dotplot`: now supports stacking. It uses `stackgroups = TRUE` instead

of the usual position="stack", for technical reasons. It also will stack in

the x direction when binning along the y axis. (Thanks to Winston Chang)

* `geom_rug` now allows control over which sides to put the rug lines, with

the `sides` argument. (Thanks to Winston Chang)

* `annotation_logticks`: a new geom that adds tick marks on the inside of the

plotting rectangle that have diminishing spacing for log-10 axes. (Thanks

to Winston Chang)

* Coordinate expansion is now handled by an interaction of the scale and

coord, rather than by the scale only. Also, the `wise` argument is no

longer needed. (Thanks to Winston Chang and Kohske Takahashi)

BUG FIXES

* `facet_grid` no longer drops duplicate cases (Fixes #443)

* `munch_range` properly reports the x and y range. (Thanks to Winston Chang)

* `stat_bin2d` handles data with NA in the position variables. Error was

triggered when scale was limited to a range smaller than the range of

the data. (Bug reported by Tao Gao; diagnosed and fixed by Brian Diggs)

* `scale_*_identity` will now produce a legend when `guide = "legend"` and no

breaks or labels are supplied (Fixes #453)

* `geom_map` now works with `coord_map` (Fixes #480)

* discrete scales now accept named vectors of labels again (Fixes #427)

* `geom_raster` works better with categorical input (Fixes #463)

* `qplot` no longer uses non-standard evaluation for geom/stat arguments - it

doesn't seem to be needed and was causing problems when qplot was used in

special environments (e.g. in knitr) (Fixes #377)

* `coord_train.polar` and `coord_train.trans` remove NAs from breaks.

(Thanks to Winston Chang. Fixes #422)

* Theta breaks with `coord_polar` have equal angular spacing. (Thanks to

Winston Chang and Kohske Takahashi. Fixes #288)

* Empty data frames are now handled correctly: layers with empty data are

dropped silently, instead of inheriting data from the plot. (Thanks to

Winston Chang. Fixes #31, #332, #506 and #507)

* The alpha value of set colours is now preserved by default. To return to the

old behaviour, set `alpha = 1`. (Fixes #475)

* `scale_*_manual` will throw an error if you have too few values. (Fixes

#512)

* `facet_wrap` gets the `as.table` argument back. (Fixes #497)

* `resolution` now returns 1 when range is zero. (Fixes #526)

* Titles are displayed above legend when legend is on top. (Thanks to

Kohske Takahashi. Fixes #432)

* Specifying breaks outside coord limits works. (Thanks to Kohske Takahashi.

Fixes #430)

* `renames_aes` now uses exact matching instead of partial matching. (Thanks

to Winston Chang. Fixes #529)

* `labs()` now works with American spellings. (Thanks to Winston Chang.

Fixes #521)

* `stat_density2d` sets the limits for `kde2d` from the limits of the x and

y scales. (Thanks to Winston Chang)

ggplot2 0.9.0

----------------------------------------------------------------

NEW FEATURES

* `annotation_custom`: a new geom intended for use as static annnotations that

are the same in every panel. Can be used to add inset plots, tables, and

other grid-based decorations inside the plot area (Contributed by Baptiste

Auguié).

* `geom_map`: a new special case of `geom_polygon` useful when you are drawing

maps, particularly choropleth maps. It is matched with `annotation_map`, an

even faster special case when you want the same map drawn in each panel.

* `geom_raster` is a special case of `geom_tile` for equally sized rectangular

tiles. It uses the raster functionality of R graphics devices for massively

increased speed and much decreased file sizes. It is matched with

`annotation_raster`, an even faster special case, for when you want to draw

the same raster in each panel.

* `geom_violin`: an implementation of violin plots, which are a way of

visualizing kernel density estimates. (Thanks to Winston Chang)

* `geom_dotplot`: dot plots, as described in Wilkinson (1999). To bin the

data, it uses `stat_bindot` to bin the data, which has two methods: histodot

and dot-density. Histodot binning uses fixed-width bins just like

`stat_bin`, while dot-density binning uses variable-width bins. A new grob,

`grob_dotstack` is used to render the dots. (Thanks to Winston Chang)

* New fortify methods have been added for objects produced by the `multcomp`

package.

* `stat_summary2d` and `stat_summary_hex`. These are work like `stat_bin2d`

and stat_binhex but allow any summarisation function (instead of just

count). They are 2d analogs of `stat_summary`

* `facet_grid`: The space argument now supports `free_x` and `free_y` next to

`free` and `fixed, this allows the user to adjust the spatial scaling of the

facets in either the x or y direction. This is especially useful when the

scales are very different. In this case space = `free` could make some

facets very small. (Thanks to Willem Ligtenberg)

DOCUMENTATION

* Thorough clean up and checking, including documenting all arguments, adding

systematic cross-references, and adding commonly requested examples. Thanks

to Jake Russ and Dennis Murphy for the help.

* Complete series of aesthetics pages (grouped subsets of aesthetics) with

examples of how to use the major ones, see e.g. `?fill`, `?shape`, `?x`,

* Added a complete list of theme opts with usage examples in `?opts`

* Added "translate" pages to demonstrate usage between qplot and ggplot, GPL,

base and lattice graphics: `?translate_qplot_base`, `?translate_qplot_gpl`,

`?translate_qplot_lattice`, `?translate_qplot_ggplot`,

SCALES

* Scales have been rewritten to use the new `scales` package, which does a

much better job at defining what a scale is and making it easier for you to

create your own scales. Scales should now behave much more consistently, and

it should be easier for me to add new features in the future.

* `breaks` parameter can now be a function, which will be passed the scale

limits and expected to return a character vector of breaks

* `labels` parameter can now be a function - this replaces the previous

formatter function that only some scales possessed, and the `major` argument

to the data time scales. This function should take a vector of breaks as

input, and return a character vector or list of expressions as output. See

`comma_format`, `dollar_format`, `percent_format`, `scientific_format`,

`parse_format` and `math_format` for examples

* Transformations are now provided by the scales package - see `?trans_new`

for list of available transformations, and how to create your own. The

transformations in this package should do a better job at computing default

breaks.

* Transformations for continuous scales are now detected automatically when

the default scales are added. This ensures that dates and date times will

display correctly when used for any aesthetic - previously they only worked

with position scales. The system is now also easier to extend to new types

of continuous data that you might want to plot. (Fixes #48)

* All scales now accept a `na.value` parameter which provides an aesthetic

value to be used for `NA` values in the data. Colour/fill scales default to

grey, which should stand out as different from non-missing values.

* The new `oob` (out of bounds) parameter controls how scales deals with

values outside the limits. The default action is `censor` - see `clip` for

another option.

* Only `scale_x_log10`, `scale_x_sqrt` and `scale_x_reverse` provided as

convenience functions for x and y scales. Use e.g. `scale_x_continuous(trans

= "log")` to access others

* `set_default_scale` has been removed. If you want to change the default

scale for an aesthetic, just create a function called

`scale_aesthetic_continuous` or `scale_aesthetic_discrete` that returns the

scale that you want. For example:

p <- qplot(mpg, wt, data = mtcars, colour = factor(cyl))

p

scale_colour_discrete <- scale_colour_brewer

p

* Scales now automatically shrink to what is actually displayed on the plot,

not the underlying data used for statistical transformation. If you want the

old behaviour, supply `shrink = FALSE` to the faceting specification.

(Fixes #125)

* `scale_colour_gradient` and `scale_fill_gradient` now use a colour scheme

with constant hue but varying chroma and luminance. This is better because

it creates a natural ordering inline with the order of the colour values.

FACETS

* Converted from proto to S3 objects, and class methods (somewhat) documented

in `facet.r`. This should make it easier to develop new types of faceting

specifications.

* The new `facet_null` specification is applied in the default case of no

faceting. This special case is implemented more efficiently and results in

substantial performance improvements for non-facetted plots.

* Facetting variables will no longer interfere with aesthetic mappings -

`facet_wrap(~ colour)` will no longer affect the colour of points.

DEVELOPMENT

* ggplot2 has moved away from the two (!!) homegrown documentation systems

that it previously relied on, and now uses roxygen extensively. The current

downside is that this means that ggplot2 website can no longer be updated,

but I hope work with the `helpr` package will resolve that shortly.

* ggplot2 now uses a `NAMESPACE`, and only exports functions that should be

user visible - this should make it play considerably more nicely with other

packages in the R ecosystem. Note that this means you now need to explicitly

load `plyr` (and other packages) if you are using them elsewhere in your

code.

* ggplot2 now has a start on a set of automated tests. As this test suite

expands it will help me ensure that bugs stay fixed, and that old bugs don't

come back in new versions. A test suite also gives me more confidence when

I'm modifying code, which should help with general code quality.

COORDS

* Converted from proto to S3 objects, and class methods (somewhat) documented

in `coord.r`. This should make it easier to develop new types of coordinate

systems.

* Added a new method `coord_range` for finding the x and y range even after

coordinates have been transformed to other names (eg., theta and r). (Thanks

to Winston Chang)

RENDERING

* When printing a ggplot2 object, the rendered plot information is returned

invisibly. You can capture this with (e.g.) `x <- print(qplot(mpg, wt, data

= mtcars))` and in the future will be able to use it to get information

about the plot computations, such as the range of all the scales, and the

exact data that is plotted.

* Drawing a plot takes place in three documented steps: `ggplot_build` which

creates a list of data frames ready for rendering builds, `ggplot_gtable`

which creates a `gtable` of grobs, and `grid.draw` which renders the grobs

on screen. Each of these returns a data structure which should be useful for

understanding and modifying the rendered plot. This is still a work in

progress, so please ask questions if anything is confusing.

* The `drop` and `keep` parameters to `ggsave` and `print.ggplot` have been

dropped, as the data structure returned by `ggplot_gtable` is sufficiently

rich enough to remove the need for them.

* Axis labels are now centred underneath the panels (not the whole plot), and

stick close to the panels regardless of the aspect ratio.

GUIDES

* Guides (particularly legends) have been rewritten by Kohske Takahashi to

provide considerably more layout flexibility.

* `guide_legend` now supports multi-row/column legend and reversed order,

gives more flexible positioning of title and label, and can override

aesthetics settings. This is useful, for example, when alpha value in a

panel is very low but you want to show vivid legend.

* `guide_colorbar` is a guide specially for continuous colour scales as

produced by colour and fill scales.

MINOR CHANGES

* `geom_text` now supports `fontfamily`, `fontface`, and `lineheight`

aesthetics for finer control over text display. (Thanks to Kohske Takahashi

for the patch. Fixes #60)

* `collide`, which powers `position_dodge` and `position_stack`, now does not

error on single x values (Thanks to Brian Diggs for a fix. #157)

* `...` in `ggplot` now passed on to `fortify` method when used with an object

other than a data frame

* `geom_boxplot`: outlier colour and shape now default to values set by the

aesthetic mapping (thanks to suggestion by Ben Bolker), the width of the

median line is now `fatten` times the width of the other lines (thanks to

suggestion by Di Cook), and the line type can now be set. Notched box

plots are now supported by setting `notch = TRUE` (thanks to Winston Chang

for the patch).

* `ggsave` can work with cm and mm `units` (Thanks to patch from Jean-Olivier

Irisson)

* `scale_shape` finally returns an error when you try and use it with a

continuous variable

* `stat_contour` no longer errors if all breaks outside z range (fixes #195).

* `geom_text` remove rows with missing values with warning (fixes #191)

* New generic function `autoplot` for the creation of complete plots

specific to a given data structure. Default implementation throws

an error. It is designed to have implementations provided by other

packages. (Thanks to suggestion by Brian Diggs)

* `ggpcp` loses the `scale` argument because it relied on reshape(1) code

* `map_data` passes `...` on to `maps::map` (Fixes #223)

* `coord_fixed` accepts `xlim` and `ylim` parameters to zoom in on x and y

scales (Fixes #91)

* ggplot2 will occasionally display a useful hint or tip on startup. Use

`suppressPackageStartupMessages` to eliminate

* `stat_binhex` uses correct bin width for computing y axis bounds. (Fixes

#299, thanks to Dave Henderson for bug report and fix.)

* `stat_smooth` now adjusts confidence intervals from `loess` using a

t-based approximation

* `stat_smooth` reports what method is used when method is "auto". It also

picks the method based on the size of the largest group, not individually by

group. (Thanks to Winston Chang)

* `stat_bin` and `geom_histogram` now use right-open, left-closed intervals by

default. Use `right = TRUE` to return to previous behaviour.

* `geom_vline`, `geom_hline`, and `geom_abline` now work with non-Cartesian

coordinate systems. (Thanks to Winston Chang)

ggplot2 0.8.9

----------------------------------------------------------------

A big thanks to Koshke Takahashi, who supplied the majority of improvements

in this release!

GUIDE IMPROVEMENTS

* key size: can specify width and height separately

* axis: can partially handle text rotation (issue #149)

* legend: now can specify the direction of element by opts(legend.direction =

"vertical") or opts(legend.direction = "horizontal"), and legend box is

center aligned if horizontal

* legend: now can override the alignment of legend box by

opts(legend.box = "vertical") or opts(legend.box = "horizontal")

* legend: now can override legend title alignment with opts(legend.title.align

= 0) or opts(legend.title.align = 1)

* legend: can override legend text alignment with opts(legend.text.align = 0)

or opts(legend.text.align = 1)

BUG FIXES

* theme_*: can specify font-family for all text elements other than geom_text

* facet_grid: fixed hirozontal spacing when nrow of horizontal strip >= 2

* facet_grid: now can manually specify the relative size of each row and column

ggplot2 0.8.8

----------------------------------------------------------------

Bug fixes:

* coord_equal finally works as expected (thanks to continued prompting from

Jean-Olivier Irisson)

* coord_equal renamed to coord_fixed to better represent capabilities

defined by the coordinate system) to figure out how many pieces each segment

should be broken in to (thanks to prompting from Jean-Olivier Irisson)

* fix ordering bug in facet_wrap (thanks to bug report by Frank Davenport)

* geom_errorh correctly responds to height parameter outside of aes

* geom_hline and geom_vline will not impact legend when used for fixed

intercepts

caused a problem in conjunction with transformed scales (reported by Seth

Finnegan)

* stat_bin: fix small bug when dealing with single bin with NA position

(reported by John Rauser)

* stat_binhex: uses range of data from scales when computing binwidth so hexes

are the same size in all facets (thanks to Nicholas Lewin-Koh for the bug

report)

* stat_qq has new dparam parameter for specifying distribution parameters

(thanks to Yunfeng Zhang for the bug report)

* stat_smooth now uses built-in confidence interval (with small sample

correction) for linear models (thanks to suggestion by Ian Fellows)

to Jean-Olivier Irisson for bug report and fix)

ggplot2 0.8.7

----------------------------------------------------------------

* coord_map gains xlim and ylim arguments to control region of projection

* corrected label generation for computed aesthetics (..x..) and special

names (`x x`)

* fullseq: now always returns vector of length two, even when range is 0

* geom_point legend takes more care to ensure that fill colours will be shown

* legend: fixed scale merging bug when labels were set manually

* scale_area: gains a legend argument like all other scales

* scale_colour_brewer: gains na.colour argument to set colour of missing

values

ggplot2 0.8.6

----------------------------------------------------------------

NEW FEATURES

* trans_log1p: new log + 1 transformer contributed by Jean-Olivier Irisson

BUG FIXES

* aesthetics: fixed bug when overriding aesthetics with NULL

* annotate: adds layers with legend = FALSE

* coord_equal: correctly place tick marks (Fixes #61)

* documentation: usage statements should now be spread over multiple lines

* fortify.SpatialPolygonsDataFrame: fixed bug when region variable had missing values

* legend: don't try and display legend when unnecessary scale added

* legend: text labels now correctly left-aligned when non-numeric

* order aesthetic now correctly affects position adjustments (Fixes #70)

* qplot loads faceting variables from global environment more correctly

* scale_date and scale_date_time now work with infinite positions

* scale_date and scale_date_time now take expand argument

* scales were not getting automatically added in many situations (Fixes #69)

* scale_manual was not returning labels in the correct format and so legends

were not getting merged correctly

* stat_contour: fix error if x or y coordinates were negative

* stat_bin: now copes with bars of zero height (Fixes #72)

* stat_qq: always use sorted data (rather than interpolated quantiles) on

sample axis. This makes it behave more like qqnorm

* stat_quantile: correctly group results

* xlim now works with datetimes

* all plyr functions prefixed with their namespace to avoid clashes with other

packages (thanks to Steve Lianoglou)

ggplot2 0.8.5

----------------------------------------------------------------

NEW FEATURES

* geom_text gains parse argument which makes it possible to display

expressions. (Implements #50)

* all scales now have legend parameter, which defaults to TRUE. Setting to

false will prevent that scale from contributing to the legend (Implements

#27)

* default axis labels and legend titles are now stored in the options, instead

of in each scale. This fixes a long standing bug where it was not easy to

set the label for computed variable, such as the y axis on a histogram.

Additionally, it means default scales are only added to the plot until just

prior to plotting, instead of the previous behaviour where scales where

added as layers were added - this could cause problems if you later modified

the underlying data. (Implements #28)

* coord_equal: when ratio = NULL (the default), it will adjust the aspect

ratio of the plot, rather than trying to extend the shortest axis.

* x and y positions can be set to Inf or -Inf to refer to the top/right and

bottom/left extents of the panel. (Implements #18)

* expand_limits(): a new function to make it easy to force the inclusion of

any set of values in the limits of any aesthetic.

NEW FEATURES (MINOR)

* aesthetics: when _setting_ an aesthetic, you may only set it to a single

value. This was always a good idea, but now it is enforced with an

informative error message.

* stat_contour bump up default number of contours

* stat_density2d: make number of grid points used for density estimation

user controllable (implements #9)

* geom_bin now allows you to set whether bins used intervals of the form

(a, b] or [a, b) with the "right" parameter (implements #20)

* geom_path: linejoin, lineend and linemitre are now user controllable

(implements #24)

* scales: all scales check that breaks are supplied if labels are, and

that breaks and labels are the same length (implements #40)

* scales: if breaks are a named vector, the names will be used as labels

(thanks to suggestion by David Kahle)

* scale_colour_gradient, scale_colour_gradient2 & scale_colour_gradientn now

have formatter argument to match scale_continuous

* updated citation to refer to the ggplot2 book

BUG FIXES

* coord_cartesian now correctly sets limits when one or both of the position

scales are non-linear. (fixes #17)

* coord_equal: now works with non-linear scales (fixes #13)

* coord_map sets aspect ratio correctly (fixes #4)

* coord_polar correctly combines labels on end of axis if expressions

(fixes #39)

* coord_trans now respects scale expand parameter (expansion occurs after

transformation) (fixes #14)

* facet_grid with scales = "free" and space = "free" now calculates space

correctly if the range of the scale is < 1 (fixes #1)

* facet_grid works once more when faceting with multiple variables in one

direction (fixes #11)

* facet_wrap now sets aspect ratio correctly
