v4.9.0

[4.9.0] - 2024-11-01

This release is 100% compatible with Lets-Plot v 4.5.1.

Added

• ggtb(): enable zoom/pan interactivity on plot [#38],[#983],[#1019]

  See example notebook.

• Interactive links in tooltips/labels/texts [#1091].

  See example notebook.

• Formatting:

  • LaTeX support: superscript, subscript ([#861]) and Greek letters ([#960]).

    See example notebook.

  • Scientific notation: compact form. Enable the compact form using the exponentFormat parameter in theme() [#1071].

    See example notebook.

• In theme():

  • parameters legendMargin, legendSpacing, legendSpacingX, legendSpacingY, legendBoxSpacing,

    and functions legendBoxHorizontal/Vertical(), legendBoxJustificationLeft/Right/Top/Bottom/Center() [#1180].

    See example notebook.

  • parameters legendKey, legendKeySize/Width/Height/Spacing/SpacingX/SpacingY[#1181].

    See example notebook.

  • parameters stripBackgroundX/Y, stripTextX/Y [#1195].

    See example notebook.

• Custom linetype patterns [#1198]:

  • a list specifying the pattern of dashes and gaps used to draw the line: listOf(dash, gap, dash, gap, ...);
  • a list with a specified offset: listOf(offset, listOf(dash, gap, dash, gap, ...));
  • a string of an even number (up to eight) of hexadecimal digits specifying the lengths in consecutive positions in the string.

  See example notebook.

• Geometries:

  • geomBlank() [#831].

  • base parameter in waterfallPlot() [#1159].

    See example notebook.

  • checkOverlap parameter in geomText() and geomLabel().

    See example notebook.

  • marginal parameter in qqPlot():

    See example notebook.

  • inheritAes parameter in layers [#1172].

• expandLimits() [#820].

  See example notebook.

• Support for 3-character hex color codes

Changed

• Parameters labwidth in facetWrap(), xLabwidth, yLabwidth in facetGrid(): the maximum label length is applied after splitting at \n separators, if present.

• themeLight() is now the default theme in qqPlot().

• [BREAKING] For API deprecated in v4.0 the deprecation level raised to "Error".

Fixed

• waterfallPlot: faceting doesn't work without a measure mapping [#1152].
• waterfallPlot: tooltips don't work with column names from original dataset [#1153].
• Legend icon background is not transparent when legendBackground is set to "blank" in theme [#1167].
• Unable to display or save graph when using geomPath [#1168].
• Legend icon background should inherit the fill color of the plot panel (i.e. grey when themeGrey() is used).
• Vertex sampling uses different tolerances for objects within the same plot [#1174].
• samplingVertexVW() doesn't work as expected [#1175].
• samplingVertexDP() may break rings [#1176].
• ggmarginal: bottom boxplot is broken [#1189].
• Offscreen cells are sometimes not rendered in JupyterLab.
• legendJustification() doesn't work if legendPositionTop() [#1031].
• coordPolar: geomPoint tooltips should take in account point size [#1214].
